Mr Rock McCaskill
Associate Registrar for Operations at Clemson University
Vice President for Information Technology Position Statement
Throughout my professional career, I have placed a priority on professional development for both my staff and myself. The cornerstone of that professional development has always been AACRAO, SACRAO, and the state associations. I believe in the importance of interacting with and serving my colleagues through those associations. I would love the opportunity to continue to serve my profession and my colleagues as a member of the AACRAO Board. I believe my multiple leadership roles at both the State and Regional Levels, along with my 30 years of experience in the profession, have provided me a solid background which will allow me to be an effective leader for AACRAO.
My roles in the profession have always had a strong IT emphasis. My first job in the Registrar's Office was in the Data Processing area, running COBOL programs/reports, maintaining the student systems, and working to implement new processes. I later had a direct role in IT before moving to my first Registrar position. In that role, I implemented the SIS for our adult/evening programs. My current role focuses on our Student Information Systems, managing the Business Analysts in the Registrar's Office, setting priorities, and leading implementations and process changes.
