Originally called the Office of International Programs established in 1963 to coordinate and oversee the International Study Abroad programs. This program was reorganized in 1971 resulting in an apparent name change although the tasks of the office remained the same, coordinating programs with foreign student sponsoring agencies and universities. This program also appears to have encompassed NICSA (Northwest Interinstitutional Council on Study Abroad). The program underwent another reorganizing in the late 1980's resulting in the offices present day organization.
The collection contains administrative files from President Terrell's visit to Japan in September of 1981, and contracts from 1973-1983 with various foreign universities for exchange programs, including Nigeria, Nihon University and Nepal.
This is an unprocessed collection. Any arrangement reflects either a pre-existing order from the records' creators or previous custodians, or preliminary sorting performed by staff.
Documents are organized in their original order. Some files have year dates, but not all.
This collection is open and available for research use.
