Preliminary Guide to the Washington State University Student Affairs Reports, 1954-1983

The Office of Student Affairs was organized to serve as the administrative body overseeing many facets of college life. Headed by the Dean of Students, the Office of Student Affairs includes the Associate Deans of men and Woman. By 1948, the Office had been re-organized to include additional administrative personnel, such as an Associate Dean of Students responsible for planning curricula for students who had yet to declare a major, and an Assistant Dean of Students whose duties included the development of educational, social, and cultural aspects of college residence life and to serve as an advisor to foreign students. Other officers included coordinators of student housing and veterans' affairs. The student counseling center and the placement bureau were also added to the Office of Student Affairs.
