In 1993, Linda Gillum became the Assistant Dean for Student Programs for the University of Michigan Medical School and held this position until being appointed Assistant Provost for Academic Affairs in 1999. Reporting to the Senior Vice Provost, Lester Monts, Gillum's responsibilities in the Provost's office pertained to student academic programs and activities, such as overseeing Living Learning Programs and coordinating academic reviews. She also played a significant role on the Undergraduate commission and her records are the most comprehensive documentation from the Provost's office on this project, established by President Bollinger in 2000 to assess undergraduate education at the University and make recommendations for changes. Her records (4.6 lin. ft.) are composed of three series: Committees, which includes documentation on Michigan Learning Communities; Conferences; and Projects, which includes her documentation on the Undergraduate Commission.
