Scope and Contents
The Oakland University Honors College records cover the entire history of the College since its initial planning in 1976. The history of the early years is well represented thanks to extensive correspondence, memos, annual reports, and other materials from the office of the Director as well as the Honors College Council. These materials are included in the first series covering the administration of the Honors College. The second series covers the curriculum and program of the College, and the third is about student life and alumni. The fourth series contains various publications of the Honors College. The “Special Programs” series includes materials documenting G. Mennen Williams’ involvement with the Honors College as well as the McGregor Chair, a three-year chair established by the McGregor foundation through a $225,000 gift to the Campaign for Oakland University. The collection also includes audio and audio-visual recordings of various Honors College events going back to 1978. Finally the Honors College Theses and other senior projects cover the years 1980-2006. Accruals are added to the collection as needed.
