Abstract:
The Office of International Studies and Programs was formed at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee (UWM) in 1957 to oversee, coordinate, and encourage all forms of international activity at UWM, and also coordinate numerous exchange programs for undergraduates, graduate students, and faculty. The bulk of the records document the years 1965-1970 and deal primarily with UWM connections to Brazil, Venezuela and other South American countries. Several conferences sponsored by the Office of International Studies and Programs are documented in the records, including the "Northbound" and "Southbound" Venezuelan Seminars and a Midwest Universities Consortium for International Activities conference report. Sixteen audio tapes of a 1964 Peace Corps conference held at Wingspread in Racine, Wisconsin are also included. The collection contains numerous directories of faculty with international interests and connections, and a 39 tape lesson series from the Oral Brazilian Portuguese Language Project. The majority of the records for 1982-1993 consist of newsletters and brochures created by the Office of International Studies and Programs.

Language: English, Portuguese
