Biography/History
Washington State University’s Office of Multicultural Student Services can trace back to the formation of a Chicano/Latino Center and a Native American Student Center in 1971. An African American Student Center (the Heritage House) and an Asian Pacific American Student Center would follow. In 1986, the four were pulled together under the new Division of Minority Affairs. In 1992 that became the Division of Multicultural Student Services, and “Division” was changed to “Office” in 1995.
Scope and Content
The collection consists of records and papers from Washington State University’s Multicultural Student Services, dating from the 1970s to late 2000s, but bulking in the 1990s. The papers of the African American Student Center comprise about one quarter of the collection. Reports documents efforts of the MSS to recruit and retain minority students, as well as efforts to support them as students, increase awareness of racial issues, and deal with racial incidents on campus. The collection also include a number of photographs, primarily of social activities, events, and graduations.
Arrangement
The collection is organized both by type of material and originating office, and then by date or subject within those. First in the collection is records and papers from Multicultural Student Services and some of their subsidiary groups, organized by subject. Following that is one series of records and papers from the African American Student Center, again organized by subject. After those are two sets of media and photographs, the first from MSS in general, and the second from the Chicana/o Latina/o Student Center. Within each of those sets, media precedes photographs, and then within both media and photographs items are in chronological order.
