In 1925, the Appalachian Trail Conference (ATC) formed to help manage the maintenance and conservation of the AT, and in 2005, the ATC was renamed Appalachian Trail Conservancy. As of 2025, the AT spans almost 2,200 miles in 14 states from Maine to Georgia, with 25% of the trail traversing Virginia and 30 local AT clubs affiliated with the ATC.","Local hiking clubs began organizing to build and maintain the AT and joining the ATC in the 1920s and 1930s. In October 1932, Donald S. Gates, a professor at Roanoke College, gathered several hikers and local groups to discuss forming an AT club in the Roanoke area. At a second meeting in October, Myron H. Avery, the chairman of the ATC, and members from the Potomac and Natural Bridge AT Clubs joined them to explain various aspects of their work.","On November 13, 1932, the Roanoke Appalachian Trail Club (RATC) was officially established with 17 charter members, including the first officers: president Gates, secretary E. B. Coxwell, treasurer Larry Pownall, and trail supervisor David Dick. Grace Pownall was appointed vice president about two (2) weeks later. The ATC initially assigned the RATC 55 miles of the trail to manage, but by the club's first anniversary, the section had expanded to 68.29 miles.","As of 2025, the RATC covers over 120 miles, including McAfee Knob, Dragon's Tooth, and Tinker Cliffs. The organization continues its original mission to maintain and protect the Appalachian Trail; develops and maintains trails, campsites, open shelters, and permanent camps on the AT; collects data about the history, scenery, geology, flora, and fauna of the Appalachian Mountains; prepares maps and guides for hiking, camping, and forest fire prevention; and participates in and advocates for the development of laws and regulations related to the AT and the Appalachian Mountains.","Biographical notes for several RATC members are included in the inventory under Series II.","External Sources:","Box 13, Folder 48, \"RATC Histories Written in 1980s,\" of this collection","Box 13, Folder 52, \"RATC Histories Written in 1950s,\" of this collection","Box 13, Folder 53, \"RATC History, 1932-1945,\" of this collection","Roanoke Appalachian Trail Club, https://www.ratc.org/, accessed May 1, 2024.","By-Laws of the Roanoke Appalachian Trail Club, Inc., Rev.

Box 16 was completed in March 2026.","Virginia Tech Special Collections and University Archives also has the M. Rupert Cutler Papers, which covers many of the same and related environmental issues of the Appalachian Mountains, Roanoke, and Southwest Virginia.","The Roanoke Appalachian Trail Club (RATC) Records document the management of the club from its founding in 1932. The collection includes the club newsletters, board minutes, former officers' and members' records, National Park Service and RATC acquisition information, conservation issues, management plans, histories of the club, scrapbooks, and photographs.","The collection is divided into two series, I: RATC Management and II: RATC Officers and Members. The first series contains materials created, collected, and maintained by the RATC for its operations. It contains the meeting minutes, primarily about the activities of the Executive Board from 1940 to 1959 and 1968 to 2004. Some of the meeting minutes also record the activities of committees, affiliate organizations, and the annual all-member banquet during those years. There are also by-laws from the 1980s and 1990s and rosters from the 1950s to 1980s. The club newsletters start with the RATC Bulletin from 1939 to 1942 and continue with the Trail Blazer from 1954 to 2010. These document the club's recent activities, including work with the Appalachian Trail Conference (later Appalachian Trail Conservancy), local non-profits, and government entitities, hike schedules and detailed accounts of club hikes on the Appalachian Trail (AT), and reminiscences of and memorials to past and current members.","The Land Tract Files contain legal records of lands acquired by NPS after 1978 Congressional funding. Most of these materials are photocopies of legal records documenting land acquisitions, including legal judgments, land ownership histories, foreclosure documents, leases and contracts with gas and electric companies, deeds and trusts, wills and genealogies regarding inheritance rights, land surveys and inspection records, appraisals and environmental assessments, financial documents and insurance certificates, photographs, maps, and correspondence with land owners, attorneys, court clerks, and others. Other documents about acquisitions and relocations also illuminate the RATC's work with the Appalachian Trail Conference (also Conservancy), U.S. National Park Service, and U.S. Forest Service to acquire and monitor property and to build and relocate trails.","The first series also contains management and conservation plans, general files, and RATC historical materials. The histories discuss the founding and development of the club as well as large trail relocations and the work of past members and officers. There are also several photo albums from the 1930s-1950s.","The second series contains files created, collected, or maintained by people affiliated with the RATC, both officers and individual members, about the history and operation of the RATC. These people include club president Thomas Campbell, the Otey family, president Dick Clark, local journalist Bill Cochran, newsletter editor Zetta Campbell, longtime trail supervisor Charles Parry, hike leaders Sigfried and Ursula Kolmstetter, hike leader Andy Layne, president Roger Holnback, and longtime social chair Linda Akers. Documents include correspondence, handwritten notes, additional meeting minutes and newsletters, photographs, newspaper clippings, and more. They also cover land acquisitions, building trails and shelters, group events and conferences, management and land use, and of course hikes on the AT.","The following are common abbreviations or acronyms found in the collection inventory:\n\n\nAEP - Appalachian Electric Power Company\n\nAPCO - Appalachian Power Company, a subsidiary of AEP\n\nAT - Appalachian Trail\n\nATC - Appalachian Trail Conference or Appalachian Trail Conservancy\n\nRATC - Roanoke Appalachian Trail Club\n\nNPS - United States National Park Service\n\nUSFS or FS - United States Forest Service","This collection contains several issues of the Trail Blazer, the newsletter of the Roanoke Appalachian Trail Club.

In 1925, the Appalachian Trail Conference (ATC) formed to help manage the maintenance and conservation of the AT, and in 2005, the ATC was renamed Appalachian Trail Conservancy. As of 2025, the AT spans almost 2,200 miles in 14 states from Maine to Georgia, with 25% of the trail traversing Virginia and 30 local AT clubs affiliated with the ATC.","Local hiking clubs began organizing to build and maintain the AT and joining the ATC in the 1920s and 1930s. In October 1932, Donald S. Gates, a professor at Roanoke College, gathered several hikers and local groups to discuss forming an AT club in the Roanoke area. At a second meeting in October, Myron H. Avery, the chairman of the ATC, and members from the Potomac and Natural Bridge AT Clubs joined them to explain various aspects of their work.","On November 13, 1932, the Roanoke Appalachian Trail Club (RATC) was officially established with 17 charter members, including the first officers: president Gates, secretary E. B. Coxwell, treasurer Larry Pownall, and trail supervisor David Dick. Grace Pownall was appointed vice president about two (2) weeks later. The ATC initially assigned the RATC 55 miles of the trail to manage, but by the club's first anniversary, the section had expanded to 68.29 miles.","As of 2025, the RATC covers over 120 miles, including McAfee Knob, Dragon's Tooth, and Tinker Cliffs. The organization continues its original mission to maintain and protect the Appalachian Trail; develops and maintains trails, campsites, open shelters, and permanent camps on the AT; collects data about the history, scenery, geology, flora, and fauna of the Appalachian Mountains; prepares maps and guides for hiking, camping, and forest fire prevention; and participates in and advocates for the development of laws and regulations related to the AT and the Appalachian Mountains.","Biographical notes for several RATC members are included in the inventory under Series II.","External Sources:","Box 13, Folder 48, \"RATC Histories Written in 1980s,\" of this collection","Box 13, Folder 52, \"RATC Histories Written in 1950s,\" of this collection","Box 13, Folder 53, \"RATC History, 1932-1945,\" of this collection","Roanoke Appalachian Trail Club, https://www.ratc.org/, accessed May 1, 2024.","By-Laws of the Roanoke Appalachian Trail Club, Inc., Rev.

Box 16 was completed in March 2026.","Virginia Tech Special Collections and University Archives also has the M. Rupert Cutler Papers, which covers many of the same and related environmental issues of the Appalachian Mountains, Roanoke, and Southwest Virginia.","The Roanoke Appalachian Trail Club (RATC) Records document the management of the club from its founding in 1932. The collection includes the club newsletters, board minutes, former officers' and members' records, National Park Service and RATC acquisition information, conservation issues, management plans, histories of the club, scrapbooks, and photographs.","The collection is divided into two series, I: RATC Management and II: RATC Officers and Members. The first series contains materials created, collected, and maintained by the RATC for its operations. It contains the meeting minutes, primarily about the activities of the Executive Board from 1940 to 1959 and 1968 to 2004. Some of the meeting minutes also record the activities of committees, affiliate organizations, and the annual all-member banquet during those years. There are also by-laws from the 1980s and 1990s and rosters from the 1950s to 1980s. The club newsletters start with the RATC Bulletin from 1939 to 1942 and continue with the Trail Blazer from 1954 to 2010. These document the club's recent activities, including work with the Appalachian Trail Conference (later Appalachian Trail Conservancy), local non-profits, and government entitities, hike schedules and detailed accounts of club hikes on the Appalachian Trail (AT), and reminiscences of and memorials to past and current members.","The Land Tract Files contain legal records of lands acquired by NPS after 1978 Congressional funding. Most of these materials are photocopies of legal records documenting land acquisitions, including legal judgments, land ownership histories, foreclosure documents, leases and contracts with gas and electric companies, deeds and trusts, wills and genealogies regarding inheritance rights, land surveys and inspection records, appraisals and environmental assessments, financial documents and insurance certificates, photographs, maps, and correspondence with land owners, attorneys, court clerks, and others. Other documents about acquisitions and relocations also illuminate the RATC's work with the Appalachian Trail Conference (also Conservancy), U.S. National Park Service, and U.S. Forest Service to acquire and monitor property and to build and relocate trails.","The first series also contains management and conservation plans, general files, and RATC historical materials. The histories discuss the founding and development of the club as well as large trail relocations and the work of past members and officers. There are also several photo albums from the 1930s-1950s.","The second series contains files created, collected, or maintained by people affiliated with the RATC, both officers and individual members, about the history and operation of the RATC. These people include club president Thomas Campbell, the Otey family, president Dick Clark, local journalist Bill Cochran, newsletter editor Zetta Campbell, longtime trail supervisor Charles Parry, hike leaders Sigfried and Ursula Kolmstetter, hike leader Andy Layne, president Roger Holnback, and longtime social chair Linda Akers. Documents include correspondence, handwritten notes, additional meeting minutes and newsletters, photographs, newspaper clippings, and more. They also cover land acquisitions, building trails and shelters, group events and conferences, management and land use, and of course hikes on the AT.","The following are common abbreviations or acronyms found in the collection inventory:\n\n\nAEP - Appalachian Electric Power Company\n\nAPCO - Appalachian Power Company, a subsidiary of AEP\n\nAT - Appalachian Trail\n\nATC - Appalachian Trail Conference or Appalachian Trail Conservancy\n\nRATC - Roanoke Appalachian Trail Club\n\nNPS - United States National Park Service\n\nUSFS or FS - United States Forest Service","This collection contains several issues of the Trail Blazer, the newsletter of the Roanoke Appalachian Trail Club.

Lambda Gamma Lambda (LGL) created its original charter in the summer of 1983 and became officially recognized by university administration as a human rights organization in the fall of 1984. Their budget was approved at the February 14, 1985 SGA meeting which included a reimbursement for travel expenses to conferences at Virginia Tech and Virginia Commonwealth University from the previous semester. In the spring of 1985, Harmony was formed as a subgroup of LGL for straight allies.","As part of their activities, LGL and Harmony published a newsletter, \"That Thing,\" to communicate with LGBTQ students. The first issue was published on February 17, 1985, running through at least February 1988. Additionally, they sponsored social and educational events including but not limited to Harmony Week, talent shows, social get-togethers, participation in the Second National March on Washington for Lesbian and Gay Rights, and generally advocated for the rights of LGBTQ students and promoted awareness of LGBTQ issues.","On February 19, 2003, prompted by student work to establish a Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender resource center, SGA submitted Bill of Opinion #1, which called for the creation of a university funded LGBT resource center at JMU with a part-time staff member to provide a safe and welcoming environment for students of the LGBT community. The proposed resource center would offer library materials for research and educational purposes including books, videos, pamphlets, articles, a computer, and a space for group discussion. An advisory committee was subsequently created to research and present a proposal to Dr. Mark Warner, Vice President of Student Affairs, with suggestions on how JMU could address LGBT resource needs. During the 2005-2006 academic year, the program was officially named LGBT \u0026 Ally Education Program. The program changed its name in February 2019 to Sexual Orientation, Gender Identity, and Expression (SOGIE) Programming. SOGIE works toward promoting JMU's commitment to diversity through education, support, advocacy and the fostering of equity for all students, regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity and expression. The collection is titled according to this most recent name of JMU's student LGBTQ and ally organization.","Researchers should refer to the collection itself for a more comprehensive (but not exhaustive) history of JMU's LGBTQ student organizations.","A scrapbook of magnetic photo pages comprising newspaper clippings, photographs, and ephemera was disbound. The three-ring binder that originally housed the scrapbook pages was discarded due to its poor condition. Each loose magnetic photo page is numbered according to its original order when bound. Blank pages located at the end of the scrapbook were discarded. A selection of of newspaper clippings that exhibited significant wear were photocopied and the originals discarded. The bulk of the clippings were kept intact in the condition in which they were transferred.","Some of the pages of the That Thing newsletter were loose and not otherwise arranged according to their specific issue. Where this was the case, the archivist made her best attempt at marrying pages together to make newsletter issues whole.","The Sexual Orientation, Gender Identity and Expression (SOGIE) Programming Records, 1984-2024, document the LGBTQ student group at JMU under its various organizational names including Lambda Gamma Lambda (LGL); Harmony; LGBT \u0026 Ally Education Program; and Sexual Orientation, Gender Identity, and Expression (SOGIE) Programming. Records include newsletters, photographs, resources and brochures produced by SOGIE and allied groups, outreach and promotional materials, and newspaper clippings.","Issues of \"That Thing,\" the newsletter of Lambda Gamma Lambda and Harmony, span 1985 to 1988, with gaps. Duplicate copies were retained, but a full run of the publication is not extant. Per the publication's first issue, \"That Thing\" \"will provide a means of communicating with as much of JMU's gay population as possible...in bringing you the latest happenings in the gay community.\" Usual content included editorials, announcements, news items, and \"Miss Thing,\" an advice and etiquette column. Many of the newsletters are proofs of issues prior to being printed for distribution. The October 1987 issue is not titled \"That Thing,\" but instead \"LGL-Harmony.\"","Newspaper clippings are largely from The Breeze and include letters to the editor, opinion pieces both in support and opposition of LGBTQ issues and students, and \"The Real World\" comic strip. Additional clippings on LGBTQ issues from were collected from national newspapers.","Photographs document social events and programs facilitated by Lambda Gamma Lambda and LGBT \u0026 Ally Education Program and include LGL's 1987 talent show, the spring 2005 \"Gay? Fine by me\" t-shirt event, and the inaugural Too Fabulous fundraiser. Along with newspaper clippings, the disbound scrapbook also contains photographs from the LGL-Harmony Farm Party and a Christmas party.","Outreach and programming materials produced by LGL, Harmony, the LGBT \u0026 Ally Education Program, SOGIE, and DEEP Impact (Diversity Education Empowerment Program) include informational brochures, event fliers and programs, and invitations. Specific events include Harmony Week, James M. Holobaugh lecture, Lavender Graduation, Too Fabulous, Intersex Awareness Day, and LGBT Open Houses. The disbound scrapbook also includes outreach materials. A typescript version of Mariah Burton Nelson's one-act play \"Out of Bounds\" is included. Its connection to SOGIE is unclear.","The collection also comprises resource material and brochures on LGBTQ issues and advocacy produced by allied groups not directly affiliated with JMU. These groups include the Gay \u0026 Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD) and The Standing Committee for Lesbian, Gay and Bisexual Awareness (SCBLBA) of the American College Personnel Association. Relatedly, the collection includes newsletters from the Alexandria Gay Community Association (AGCA), Arlington Virginia Gay Alliance (AVGA), Roanoke AIDS Project, Roanoke Valley Gay Alliance, and National Gay and Lesbian Task Force.","Histories and timelines are included that document LGL and Harmony's mission and aims as well as the creation of the LGBT \u0026 Ally Education Program. Documentation related to the LGBT Resource Center and a review of policies regarding JMU's LGBT communities complement these timelines. Researchers should be aware that the timelines are not exhaustive and do not provide a comprehensive history of LGBTQ advocacy at JMU.","Researchers should note that examples of hate speech targeted at LGBTQ students at JMU are included in this collection. The hate speech was written on promotional materials created by Harmony that were distributed on campus. Two examples were written on the back of an election poster for a candidate running for SGA treasurer.","Copyright for materials authored or otherwise produced as official business of James Madison University is retained by James Madison University.

The Sierra Club has a long history of political organizing, and in the 1950s-1960's expanded its grassroots organizing efforts nationally, eventually opened chapters in all 50 states.","The West Virginia chapter was formed from the Potomac Chapter, which served a larger area including Maryland, Delaware, and Washington, D.C. Prior to the chapter's formation, The Monongahela Group operated as a sub-group of the Potomac Chapter, and in 1977 began seeking accreditation. The group served Monongalia, Preston, Marion, and Talyor Counties, and held regular meetings and organized around regional issues such as National Forest preservation, the Canaan Valley Development Authority, land and water preservation, and mining and drilling. The West Virginian Chapter officially became the 57th chapter in 1984, with Dr. Katharine Gregg as the chairman.","For more materials regarding the Sierra Club and Dr. Katharine Gregg's work, see A\u0026M 4598, Katharine Gregg Papers.","Records of the West Virginia Chapter of the Sierra Club, an American environmental preservation organization.

Types of records include correspondence; meeting minutes; reports; bylaws; fundraising; and guidelines/training materials on activism, volunteering, and outings. There is a disc with meeting minutes of the Executive Committee from the year 2000 (box 4, folder 6). There are also the responses to a survey regarding member interest in things such as outings, issues, and politics, as well as a CD accompanying the material (box 3). This collection also includes lyrics and audio of songs written by West Virginian singer and activist Kate Long, written for the West Virginia Chapter (box 2, folder 6), and two CDs with Ad Campaigns about Marcellus Shale Gas Drilling (box 2, folder 15). Finally, there is a thumb drive with unidentified \"Sierra Club Files,\" (box 2, folder 15).","Activist records include correspondence, educational materials, research, and newspaper articles related to the chapter's grassroots environmentalist activities (boxes 5-7). Materials include things such as action and legislative alerts, fact sheets, educational leaflets, policy statements, guidelines for organizing, as well as programs and invitations for various events held by the Chapter. The Monongahela Forest Plan is a prominent topic (box 7). Other topics include conservation of State Parks, surface mining, resource extraction, Clean Water and Air, acid rain, and the Monongahela Trail Project. This collection includes correspondence with other activist groups working on the same issues, including the Highlands Conservancy and the League of Women Voters.","There are also copies of The Monongahela Circulars, the publication of the group while they were part of the Potomac Chapter, and The Mountain State Sierran, the West Virginian Chapter's publication (box 8).

Although rumblings of self-government began with the founding of the school in 1908, it took a fair amount of effort to bring this idea to fruition. The roots of the university's SGA derive from the student Honor Council which began in the 1909-1910 school year. Students involved in the Honor Council began to create an unofficial student government that although unable to act in an official capacity, was instrumental in helping to bring about student support for self-government. By 1914, a small group of students worked together to draft a constitution for the planned student government organization and presented this constitution to the faculty. After completing revisions suggested by the faculty, the constitution was presented and voted on by the entire student body February 25, 1915 and as a result, the Student Association of the State Normal School at Harrisonburg was established. This first iteration of the organization required that the entire student body act as a member. Additionally, the Honor Committee was converted into the first Executive Board. This Executive Board included three officers (president, vice-president, and secretary), and several elected members of each class.","As the school and student population grew so did the organization and it eventually became unrealistic for the entire student body to act as members of the organization. Complications also arose within the organization with the introduction of full-time male students in 1946. At the time, it did not seem appropriate for men and women to govern students of the opposite sex. As a result, the male students decided to create their own self-government in 1950, labeling their organization the Men's Student Government Organization. The female students likewise formally relabeled their existing organization the Women's Student Government Association in 1953 to better distinguish the separation between the two groups; however, they rarely included this additional identifier. While the two groups worked together on many matters through the 50s and 60s, the organizations formally combine in 1970, creating the current manifestation of the Student Government Association.","As of 2015, the SGA at JMU is made up of appointed members on the Executive Staff, Representatives, and At-Large Senators. Elected members include Class Council Senators, College Senators, and Area Residence Senators. The mission: The Student Government Association of James Madison University is an organization dedicated to collaborating with all members of its community to advocate for student opinion, while fostering a proactive, inclusive environment.","After reviewing the material in all accessions, about 2 linear feet of material was removed from one of the 2005 accessions. The material was largely financial forms that contained banking information or social security numbers. All binder and notebook material was removed from the original bindings and transferred into folders. All the pages from each of the scrapbooks were removed and photocopied. Photocopies were also made of the cover and back covers. This was done to help preserve the context of the photographs on the pages in preparation for possible adhesive failure.","Some of the material in this collection can be viewed on Special Collections' Student Government Association Digital Exhibit published on-line in April 2015. https://omeka.lib.jmu.edu/specialcollections/collections/show/2","This collection documents the activities of James Madison University's Student Government Association in Harrisonburg, Virginia from 1915-2024. The collection developed from seven different accessions from the Student Government Association received in the 1990s and early 2000s and contains a wide range of material which is organized according to physical type or corresponding to subject. Much of the material in this collection derives from different meetings within the organization including: the Student Council, Student Senate, Execution Board, Senate and Council Committees, and others.

Although rumblings of self-government began with the founding of the school in 1908, it took a fair amount of effort to bring this idea to fruition. The roots of the university's SGA derive from the student Honor Council which began in the 1909-1910 school year. Students involved in the Honor Council began to create an unofficial student government that although unable to act in an official capacity, was instrumental in helping to bring about student support for self-government. By 1914, a small group of students worked together to draft a constitution for the planned student government organization and presented this constitution to the faculty. After completing revisions suggested by the faculty, the constitution was presented and voted on by the entire student body February 25, 1915 and as a result, the Student Association of the State Normal School at Harrisonburg was established. This first iteration of the organization required that the entire student body act as a member. Additionally, the Honor Committee was converted into the first Executive Board. This Executive Board included three officers (president, vice-president, and secretary), and several elected members of each class.","As the school and student population grew so did the organization and it eventually became unrealistic for the entire student body to act as members of the organization. Complications also arose within the organization with the introduction of full-time male students in 1946. At the time, it did not seem appropriate for men and women to govern students of the opposite sex. As a result, the male students decided to create their own self-government in 1950, labeling their organization the Men's Student Government Organization. The female students likewise formally relabeled their existing organization the Women's Student Government Association in 1953 to better distinguish the separation between the two groups; however, they rarely included this additional identifier. While the two groups worked together on many matters through the 50s and 60s, the organizations formally combine in 1970, creating the current manifestation of the Student Government Association.","As of 2015, the SGA at JMU is made up of appointed members on the Executive Staff, Representatives, and At-Large Senators. Elected members include Class Council Senators, College Senators, and Area Residence Senators. The mission: The Student Government Association of James Madison University is an organization dedicated to collaborating with all members of its community to advocate for student opinion, while fostering a proactive, inclusive environment.","After reviewing the material in all accessions, about 2 linear feet of material was removed from one of the 2005 accessions.

All binder and notebook material was removed from the original bindings and transferred into folders. All the pages from each of the scrapbooks were removed and photocopied.

As international, national, or local events shaped each new decade, Old Dominion student organizations adapted accordingly to reflect changing student interests or concerns.  This was most prevalent in the 1960s when several student organizations emerged at Old Dominion which echoed the rising social consciousness among American college students of the era.  New student organizations such Students for a Democratic Society (SDS), College Americans for Democratic Action (CADA), and the Emerson Forum who criticized American political policies or opposed what they believed to be repressive university policies restricting academic freedom appeared on campus in the late 1960s.  As a result of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, African-American enrollment at Old Dominion began to steadily increase and by the 1970s, the first African-American student organization, Students for Development of Black Culture (SDBC) joined other campus organizations.  The 1970s also brought forward several new organizations emphasizing spiritual or religious interests, such as the Campus Ministries and the Newman Association. By the 1980s, student organizations at Old Dominion began to temper much of the radicalism associated with the 1960s and 70s.  While student organizations came and went based upon changing student interests or fashionable trends and fads, many emerged that maintained a strong commitment to the socially relevant issues of the day.  Organizations such as the Old Dominion Disco Jump Roping or Windsurfing Club reflect fashionable trends or interests, while organizations such as the Young Democrats, Old Dominion Chapter of the Citizens Party, and the Gay Perspective and Awareness Alliance reflect social concerns and political interests.  Throughout the 1980s as the international student population began to rise, organizations such as the Indian, Iranian, and Vietnamese Student Associations formed to satisfy the needs of the university's international students.  Student organizations in the 1990s and 2000s continued the trend established in the 1980s with the emergence of the Anime Club, Muslim Students Association, Habitat for Humanity or East African Student Alliance.  Student organizations continue to be an important element of Old Dominion campus life.  There exists nearly 300 active student organizations on campus that includes honorary, political, professional, religious, service, governing, and special interest groups each managed by the Office of Student Activities and Leadership (OSAL).  Student organizations exist to enhance leadership, social, and interpersonal skills to strengthen the academic experience and foster a sense of community among the university's diverse and dynamic student body.","Note written by Special Collections Staff","Future accruals are expected.","Check collections under Record Group 37 for more collections related to student organizations.","This collection contains publications associated with student organizations at the Norfolk Division of the College of William and Mary, Old Dominion College, and Old Dominion University.

As international, national, or local events shaped each new decade, Old Dominion student organizations adapted accordingly to reflect changing student interests or concerns.  This was most prevalent in the 1960s when several student organizations emerged at Old Dominion which echoed the rising social consciousness among American college students of the era.  New student organizations such Students for a Democratic Society (SDS), College Americans for Democratic Action (CADA), and the Emerson Forum who criticized American political policies or opposed what they believed to be repressive university policies restricting academic freedom appeared on campus in the late 1960s.  As a result of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, African-American enrollment at Old Dominion began to steadily increase and by the 1970s, the first African-American student organization, Students for Development of Black Culture (SDBC) joined other campus organizations.  The 1970s also brought forward several new organizations emphasizing spiritual or religious interests, such as the Campus Ministries and the Newman Association. By the 1980s, student organizations at Old Dominion began to temper much of the radicalism associated with the 1960s and 70s.  While student organizations came and went based upon changing student interests or fashionable trends and fads, many emerged that maintained a strong commitment to the socially relevant issues of the day.  Organizations such as the Old Dominion Disco Jump Roping or Windsurfing Club reflect fashionable trends or interests, while organizations such as the Young Democrats, Old Dominion Chapter of the Citizens Party, and the Gay Perspective and Awareness Alliance reflect social concerns and political interests.  Throughout the 1980s as the international student population began to rise, organizations such as the Indian, Iranian, and Vietnamese Student Associations formed to satisfy the needs of the university's international students.  Student organizations in the 1990s and 2000s continued the trend established in the 1980s with the emergence of the Anime Club, Muslim Students Association, Habitat for Humanity or East African Student Alliance.  Student organizations continue to be an important element of Old Dominion campus life.  There exists nearly 300 active student organizations on campus that includes honorary, political, professional, religious, service, governing, and special interest groups each managed by the Office of Student Activities and Leadership (OSAL).  Student organizations exist to enhance leadership, social, and interpersonal skills to strengthen the academic experience and foster a sense of community among the university's diverse and dynamic student body.","Note written by Special Collections Staff"],"custodhist_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003eFuture accruals are expected.\u003c/p\u003e  "],"custodhist_heading_ssm":["Custodial History"],"custodhist_tesim":["Future accruals are expected."],"prefercite_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003e[Identification of item], Box [insert number], Folder [insert number and title], Student Organizations Collection, Special Collections and University Archives, Old Dominion University Libraries.\u003c/p\u003e  "],"prefercite_tesim":["[Identification of item], Box [insert number], Folder [insert number and title], Student Organizations Collection, Special Collections and University Archives, Old Dominion University Libraries."],"relatedmaterial_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003eCheck collections under Record Group 37 for more collections related to student organizations.\u003c/p\u003e  "],"relatedmaterial_heading_ssm":["Related Materials"],"relatedmaterial_tesim":["Check collections under Record Group 37 for more collections related to student organizations."],"scopecontent_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003eThis collection contains publications associated with student organizations at the Norfolk Division of the College of William and Mary, Old Dominion College, and Old Dominion University.
