- Series 1: Annual Binders, 1997-2014 Add to Shelf
- Series 1 comprises a large part of this collection and consists of annual binders for 1997-1998 through 2013-2014. Each binder covers one academic/fiscal year. Notebooks for a given year may have been created and maintained by the Committee Chair, a faculty or student member on the Committee, or staff supporting the work of the Educational Activities Committee. Consequently, there are multiple notebooks for each year which provide different perspectives through written comments and questions as well as the specific issues and topics of interest and concern to the creator of the binder. These binders typically include: the detailed budget for the Committee, approved budgets for student and university organizations and programs, the request forms submitted by these organizations and programs, guidelines, expectations and rules, as well as minutes, agendas, and other administrative records documenting the functioning of the organization. Reference access to the materials in Digital Folder 1 is available upon patron request.
