Dr. Tammy Aagard currently works as a Managing Consultant for AACRAO Consulting. She has over 30 years of experience in higher education. Prior to her current role, she served as Associate Vice President for Enrollment Management and the University of Florida (Go Gators!), Registrar at the University of Wyoming (Go Pokes!), as well as working for the Washington State University athletic department (Go Cougs!).  

Tammy has come a long way from her early days where she was runner up in the junior division of the local Stars of Tomorrow competition.  She wasn’t a great singer, but her plaid maxi dress, cat-eye glasses, and toothy smile were a huge hit. Hearing the roar of the crowd instilled in her a need to be on stage. 

Her career path has taken her through many areas of higher education including advising, transfer admissions, graduate admissions, athletics, registrar and financial aid.  After several appearances on YouTube, including starring as the mean Registrar who was ruining Christmas, sadly her career on social media did not take off.  So she decided to forego stardom for the gratifying work in enrollment management and now consulting. 

Outside of work, Tammy loves travel; Broadway plays; canning; serving others including doing hurricane cleanup; planning parties; meeting old and new friends, and hanging out with her family.   

Some of her fondest professional memories include the time she spent as a member of AACRAO and RMACRAO serving in several leadership positions and on committees.  It is a privilege to return RMACRAO as the AACRAO representative and to once again rub elbows with some of the most talented Admission, Registrar, and Enrollment Management professionals in the world.
