Minutes, correspondence, audiovisual materials, and other records documenting the founding, public programs, research projects, day-to-day administrative activities, and individual staff members of the University of Michigan's Center for the Education of Women.

The Center for Education of Women collection consist of minutes, correspondence, audiovisual materials, and other records documenting the founding, public programs, research projects, day-to-day administrative activities, and individual staff members of the University of Michigan's Center for the Education of Women. It is divided into four broad subgroups: Central Office Files, 1961-2009; Individual Staff Files, 1919-1999; Audiovisual Materials, 1963-1997; and Website. The current CEW collection is the result of a major reprocessing project that combined several new accessions with the pre-existing record group--itself the accumulation of several accessions--and which has resulted in a re-figured collection nearly double the size of the original. The first three subgroups and their major series have been retained, but some of the lower-level organization has been updated to reflect the fuller picture of the Center that the combined set of materials affords.

Documents within folders may be arranged either chronologically or reverse chronologically, based on the existing arrangement of the majority of materials (in both the pre-existing collection and in the new accessions), and in some cases may adhere to the original filing order. Also, some files (e.g. most correspondence) were filed by calendar year (Jan-Dec.), while others (notably budgets, staff meetings, and program files) were filed by fiscal year. Unless otherwise noted, files arranged by academic year (indicated in the box list by dates such as '1990/91') run from July of the first year through June of the second year.

Researchers examining the CEW collection may also be interested in related files in the following other Bentley University of Michigan record groups: Institute on Gerontology, Michigan Initiative on Women's Health, Provost and Executive Vice President for Academic Affairs.

Additionally, researchers should note the following overlaps between the 'Topical' series in the 'Central Office Files' subgroup and the files of CEW staff members in the 'Individual Staff Files' subgroup:

  1. Counseling: Myra Fabian, Dorothy McGuigan, Vivian Rogers, and Patricia Wulp
  2. Evening Program (especially 1982 and later): Patricia Wulp
  3. Group Counseling and Workshops (e.g., Career Decision Making, Assertiveness, the Step Before the Job Search, etc.): Myra Fabian, Barbara Anton, and Patricia Wulp
  4. Programs by Academic Year: Patricia Wulp
  5. Publicity: Louise Cain, Patricia Wulp and Dorothy McGuigan
  6. Research (including: non-traditional student surveys, Women in Science (and Engineering) studies, participant data, and especially Ford Grants): Jean Campbell, Carol Hollenshead, Jean Manis, Hazel Markus, and Dorothy McGuigan
  7. Sexual Harassment Implementation Team and other Sexual Harassment materials: Sue Kaufmann
  8. Women's Initiative Group (WING): Myra Fabian, Sue Kaufmann, Vivian Rogers, and Patricia Wulp

Due to the decentralized nature of the CEW records, researchers are encouraged to check for headings in each of the subgroups and series, even for subjects not listed above.

Acronyms used frequently in the records and in this finding aid include:

  1. CFW / COW -- UM Commission for Women (prior to 1972, the name was the Commission on Women)
  2. CURIES -- Cross-University Research in Engineering and Science
  3. GEO -- UM Graduate Employees' Organization
  4. IOG -- Institute of Gerontology (Joint UM/Wayne State program)
  5. LSA / LS&A -- UM College of Literature, Science, and the Arts
  6. MAWDAC -- Michigan Association of Women Deans, Administrators and Counselors

  8. NAWDAC -- National Association of Women Deans, Administrators and Counselors
  9. NACME -- National Action Council for Minorities in Engineering
  10. NSF -- National Science Foundation
  11. OVPR -- UM Office of the Vice President for Research
  12. UM -- University of Michigan (Ann Arbor campus unless otherwise noted)
  13. WING -- UM Women's Initiative Group
  14. WIS / WISE -- Women in Science / Women in Science and Engineering, originally a CEW project that later spun off into its own unit)

Individual Staff Files, 1919-2010

Online

The Individual Staff Files include the files of Barbara Anton, Ruth Bordin, Louise Gilbert Cain, Jean Campbell, Myra Fabian, Carol Hollenshead, Sue Kaufmann, Jean Manis, Hazel Markus, Dorothy McGuigan, Vivian Rogers, and Patricia Wulp. In addition to their commitment to advocacy for women through their positions and duties at CEW, center staff members have been deeply involved in their own professional fields. As such, the individual staff members' files contain a spectrum of materials ranging from official CEW business to quite personal material. For example, the files document individuals' duties at CEW (e.g. Myra Fabian's counseling files); university duties following from CEW work (e.g. Myra Fabian's WING files); non-CEW-related university work (e.g. Carol Hollenshead's files relating to her position at the Office for the Vice President of Research); professional papers (e.g. Myra Fabian's NAWDAC files); and personal papers (e.g. Vivian Rogers' Lumpectomy Support Group file). Some sets of papers fall into more than one category, for example Sue Kaufmann's Sexual Harassment Policies files, which document activities she began while at other University of Michigan units and continued once she came to CEW.

1988-2010

2.5 linear feet, 6.6 MB

The 1988-2010 subseries came to the library in two accessions, one in March 2012 and another in February 2013. The subseries documents some of the major projects that Kaufmann worked on during her time as the Associate Director for Advocacy in the mid to late 2000s, but also includes legacy material which provide context for some of the projects. One of the largest portions of the subseries is material on the Child Care and Student Parent Task Force groups. These include committee minutes, reports, and correspondence documenting the group's ideas of offering assistance to students and staff at the University of Michigan with young children, as well as financial support for child care centers on campus. Some of the correspondence regarding the Student Parent Task Force emphasizes the importance of academic programs offering flexibility for student parents.

Another major portion of the subseries focuses on domestic violence and sexual assault prevention and awareness at the University during the early 2000s. These materials on domestic violence include meeting minutes, presentations, and University wide policies on the subject. These would bring attention to the need to offer training and educational programs to units on campus that would teach staff how to prevent and reduce the threat of domestic violence. Similarly there are records of the Sexual Assault Prevention and Awareness Committee (SAPAC) which offered workshops for students on dealing with sexual assault on campus. Most of these records include correspondence regarding these workshops, but also the committee's attempt to not only educate but offer support for victims of sexual assault on campus. The rest of the subseries contain proposals and correspondence regarding other projects such as the New Century Application and the Women's Leadership Institute.

Audiovisual Materials, 1963-1997

Online

The Audio-Visual Material series consists of many CEW awards programs, lectures, and information material. The video materials include two video reel-to-reel trigger tapes, "The Perils of Paula" and the "Street Corner Society", meant to spark group discussions and a videotape (U-matic format) of the Center's "Two Women, Twenty Years," which details the life stories of two non-traditional students who were involved with CEW when they received their education at the University of Michigan. Other highlights include several VHS recordings of CEW Scholarship Awards programs, the Elizabeth Mullin-Welch lecture series, videos on the Women of Color in the Academy Project, an informational video describing the programs and services at CEW, and an informational video about the CEW sponsored Science for Life program. The audio materials are stronger for the 1970s, including several talks from the 1975-1976 Brownbag series (aka Research Reports from Returning Women), as well as several discussion groups, conferences, and symposia. There are also audio recordings of various CEW programs from the 1980s and 1990s.
