Historical Note
In 1907 the University of Wyoming built its first women's dormitory and with it came the position of Dean of Women. The Dean of Men's position was established in 1920. Both positions became subordinate to the Division of Student Affairs in 1969. Bernice Sanford served as Dean of Women from 1921-1925; Helen Bishop Dunnewald,1925-1931; E. Luella Galliver, 1931-1964; and Margaret C. Tobin from 1964-1969. The chief duties for Dean of Women were to supervise housing of women students and aiding and advising in their social life and activities.
The Division of Student Affairs was established in 1957 and in 1969 the title of the officer was changed to the Vice-President of Student Affairs. Later the position was renamed to Associate Vice President for Student Affairs, Associate Provost for Student Affairs, and finally to Vice President for Student Affairs. The Division is charged with providing leadership to the campus community in developing and delivering the majority of direct student support services designed to ensure student success.
The Division administered the Associated Parents of the University of Wyoming (renamed Cowboy Parents), Center for Advising and Career Services, Housing and Residential Life (renamed Residence Life and Dining Services), International Student Services—a part of the Admissions Office, Office of Student Life (renamed the Dean of Students Office), Student Educational Opportunity, Recreation and Wellness (renamed Campus Recreation), Student Health Service, Office of the Registrar, Student Financial Aid and the University Counseling Center.
