Records Relating to Student Affairs Office | Northern Illinois University

In 1921, a Dean of Men and a Dean of Women were appointed to handle student concerns. Over the years many duties were reassigned to other offices, and in 1972 the Dean’s positions were abolished with the creation of the Office of Student Assistance and Aid under the Student Affairs Division.  In March 1996 Student Affairs was merged with Academic Affairs under the Executive Vice President and Provost.  This collection documents the activities of the Student Affairs Office and those offices which reported to it: the Financial Aid Office, the Counseling and Student Development Center, and the Office of Testing Service, primarily from the 1950’s through the 1970’s.  Some records from the dean’s are also included here.  Faculty/student directories are regularly added to the collection.
