University of North Carolina Wilmington Student Affairs Records

This collection includes student affairs records from the University of North Carolina Wilmington and its predecessor institution, Wilmington College. Founded in 1947, Wilmington College became a four-year college in 1965, and then became part of the University of North Carolina System of public higher education in 1969. Records include information about fraternities, sororities, the student government association, student media, student honorary societies, and other student organizations. The Division of Student Affairs oversees intramural and club sports, including football, as well as Transitions Programs, the office responsible for new student orientation and commencement. The Division manages many aspects of the college experience such as student housing, residential life, tutoring and learning services, health services, and disability services. Departmental records also pertain to special events such as concerts and other student-directed activities. Unique pieces include a report about the Pub, also known as the Good Wood Tavern, which was once located in James Hall before the student union was built, and a poster for a James Brown concert held in Trask Coliseum. Materials includes administrators' correspondence, student government meeting minutes, commencement programs, newspapers, yearbooks, periodicals such as literary and creative magazines, departmental newsletters, administrative reports, student handbooks, Codes of Student Life, and marketing materials.
