Our Mission

The purpose of this association is to facilitate the dissemination of information and the exchange of ideas concerning shared professional challenges through annual conferences, workshops, and publications. It aims to advance higher education in its fullest and broadest sense while promoting a spirit of unity and cooperation among its members. The association serves as a unifying and coordinating entity among recruiters, admissions staff, records and registration personnel, and enrollment managers from private institutions and the institutions within Louisiana's four higher education governing boards: the Louisiana State University System, the Southern University System, the University of Louisiana System, and the Louisiana Community and Technical College System.
