Subseries: Event Files, 2004-2010

Alternate Format

Records from this subseries may be available in both paper and electronic formats. There is not a 1-to-1 correspondence between electronic and paper folder headings, and each format may contain different types of documentation as described in the scope and content note. As such, researchers should be sure to consult both paper and electronic files where applicable to obtain the full picture of these events.

Scope and Content Note

Files relating to the public and private events at which Chancellor Santiago spoke or otherwise presided. These files usually contain a brief summary of the events in question, the speeches given by the Chancellor at the event, and copies of any presentation made. Most of these files pertain to routine events, such as the annual faculty/staff awards ceremony, presentations to the Faculty Senate and the UW Board of Regents, background information on Santiago's WUWM appearances, and the Winter and Spring commencement addresses. Santiago also spoke on a regular basis to local organizations, such as the Murray Hill Neighborhood Association, the Milwaukee Press Club, and various Rotary clubs around the Milwaukee area; most of these presentations served to promote the activities of UWM in the community.

In addition to routine events, Santiago also spoke at or prepared background information for a number of one-time or irregularly-occurring events of potential interest to researchers, including:

• Prominent speakers at UWM, including Rigoberta Menchu Tum, Cornel West, Senator Herb Kohl, Joe Biden, Governor Jim Doyle, and Mayor Tom Barrett.
• Special events on or near campus, such as the rally supporting the Elite Eight appearance of the 2005 Men's Basketball team, UWM representation at the Wisconsin State Fair, UWM Night at Miller Park and at Milwaukee Bucks games, retirement ceremonies for a number of long-time UWM employees, and dedication of various new campus facilities.
• Information on international relationships and trips, including visits to Israel, Japan, China, and Poland and interinstitutional agreements that emerged from those visits.
• Responses to student unrest on campus, including reports on a number of campus protests and documents monitoring coverage of the protests on blogs, social media, and local news.

Many of the event files have both a paper and electronic version. The paper versions of the files often include margin notes written by Santiago or other staff and thus may more accurately reflect the content of the speech or presentation actually delivered. The electronic files may include documents not easily reproduced in paper form, such as associated spreadsheets and charts, PowerPoint presentations, or audio-visual materials related to the event in question.

Arrangement of the Materials: Files in this series are arranged chronologically by date of event. Because of the volume of files in this subseries, individual folders have not been described below; box descriptions indicate the range of dates of the events included in that box.
Other Finding Aids: Text files containing folder-level listings of the files in this subseries are available in the archives.
