Series I: Alumni Files
- Scope and content:
-
The alumni files include, for the most part, two sets of records: one from the Admissions Office (including, applications, statements, recommendations, financial aid information) and one from the Placement Office (including letters of recommendation sent to potential employers, copies of c.v.s, placement records, press releases, correspondence). These alumni are students who enrolled in a degree program (BS, MS, PhD), whether or not they completed their program, from 1927 to 1992. The date for each folder corresponds to the date of the degree(s) or certificate completed or for those who did not complete a degree, their attendance dates (not necessarily to the dates of the records inside the folder).
