Summary: Administrative records of the University of Wisconsin--Eau Claire office concerned with student organizations, and activities, students’ health and personal development and student discipline.

Biographical / Historical Note

From the University of Wisconsin System merger in 1971 through 1994, student programs providing career guidance, academic assistance, and health services were administered by the Office of the Assistant Chancellor for Student Affairs.

From about 1995 until 2002, in what appears to have been a period of rapid administrative change, various Assistant Vice Chancellors oversaw these types of student programs and others, such as undergraduate research. The Office of the Vice Chancellor for Student Development and Diversity was created in 2003 to oversee the work of the Deans of Students and the directors of the Academic Skills Center, the Career Center, the Advising Office, Student Health Services, Counseling Services, the American Ethnic Coordinating Staff, and other student centered offices. The exact scope of administrative responsibilities for all of these offices may be found in the UW--Eau Claire catalogues under “UW--Eau Claire Administrative Organization and Personnel.”
