Fear is an interesting word. Especially, when contemplating the contemporary collegiate registrar. The registrar profession seemed to diverge over the last decade. There appears now to be two categories. One is a benevolent person who honors traditional registrar standards, yet does little to grow the profession. The second is an ambassador of data.

These are people of strength who possess a comprehensive view of what it means to be a registrar. Registrars need to look at the profession on a macro level.
