Also included is records of the University Week for Women which is composed of planning, committee minutes, and other related materials. The General office records are composed mainly of promotional material for miscellaneous conferences, conventions, seminars, symposiums, panel discussions, workshops and a call for proposals on topics for conferences, seminars, workshops, etc. Folders are arranged in alphabetical order. University Week for Women is a learning opportunity for people of all ages, and features a variety of educational classes designed to enrich and enhance the lives of participants. For three days each summer, participants attend classes, reside in dormitory facilities, attend luncheons and socialize with fellow participants. University Week for Women has several goals: to provide individuals with the opportunity to meet others, to provide opportunities to learn new skills, knowledge and attitudes relevant in a changing world, and to be a stimulus for lifelong learning. University Week for Women began as the idea of Fayola Muchow. In 1970, she had attended a women's week program in Bozeman, Montana and wanted to get something similar started in South Dakota. In 1974, she began discussion with the president of South Dakota State University and directors of South Dakota Cooperative Extension Service. Eventually, a planning committee was formed. This committee involved several women's organizations from across the state of South Dakota including S.D. Extension Home Economics, SD Extension Homemakers Council, the League of Women Voters, General Federated Women's Clubs, state journalists, and business and professional women. The first University Week for Women was held June 15 to June 17, 1976. While the main purpose of University Week for Women has remained the same throughout the years, some changes have occurred. In 1983, the program began to offer class for credit to assist those who were working toward a degree. In 1986, a scholarship program was instigated with monies donated by sponsoring state organization and planning committee members. This series is composed of planning committee minutes, registration forms, handouts, budgets, instructor and attendance lists, course schedules, clippings, evaluations, correspondence between committee members and guest speakers, photographs, and slides. For preservation purposes, the clippings have been photocopied with the originals discarded and the photographs and slides have been removed and placed in the photograph collection.
