The Campus Organizations sub-series (1972-2009, 1 linear foot, 0.5 GB) includes files on organizations addressing diversity and multicultural concerns. While files from a number of organizations and programs are contained in this sub-series, two are more comprehensive than the others, because they were key parts of Housing Special Programs: Project Awareness, including the Minority Peer Advisor program, and the university's minority and multicultural spaces. The Minority Peer Advisor Program created a staff position the goal of which was to help foster multicultural understanding and help advise and counsel students in social as well as academic matters. Minority and Multicultural spaces gave minority students and organizations space in which to come together.
