The Rhode Island Association of Admission Officers (RIAAO), established in 1976, is a professional organization for college and university undergraduate admission, enrollment services, and records personnel who represent NEASC accredited institutions within the state.
Annually, RIAAO organizes a national level college fair for students seeking higher education, awards scholarships to individuals attending a RIAAO member institution, and hosts a counselor tour to showcase our affiliated schools. You can learn more about the organization below:
