Records Of The Student Activities Office

Boxes 116-126 contain records from the Office of Campus Life and Leadership.

Student activities office is responsible for planning and/or hosting recreational activities for the students.

This collection consists of subject folders maintained by the Student Activities Office at Todd Union. The material dates from 1926 to 1968. Several items date from before the opening of Todd Union, and bulk dates for the material are 1955-1967. For the period before integration of the women's and men's colleges (1930-1955), material is only for the College for Men. The collection covers a range of topics, including student government, fraternities and sororities, Freshman orientation ("Frosh Week"), student organizations, administrative groups, and material about the Student Activities Office and Todd Union themselves. These folders were the office's records on clubs and other activities, and the material in the folders primarily reflects what the groups themselves collected. Materials include correspondence, University press releases, notes, budgets, constitutions, meeting minutes, newsletters, reports, and membership lists. Dates refer to when materials were created. Files related to Frosh Week and Parents Weekend also contain, as an integral part of the title, dates that refer to when those events were held.

Announcements for the following year included in some vols.

The records of the Office of the Dean of Students include correspondence regarding the searches for Directors of Residential Life and Student Activities (1987); Annual Reports (1929-1989); general records including correspondence, memos, announcements, news clippings (1943-1994); Cycles surveys (1976-1990); and a number of subject files. The annual reports cover the Office of Residential Life with information of statistics on dorms, including rooms, students, Head Resident changes, and student activities, consisting of information on student run groups such as the Student Government Association and events such as Winter Term.
