Materials from the various offices and departments of the College of Health Sciences. The
majority of the collection consists of departmental meeting minutes and subject files from
the constituent departments of the College of Health Sciences: the Dept. of Clinical
Laboratory Sciences; the Dept. of Communication Sciences and Disorders; the Dept. of Health
Sciences; the Dept. of Human Kinetics, including the Kinesiology program; the Dept. of
Speech Pathology and Audiology; the Health Information Administration Program (later renamed
the Department of Healthcare Administration and Informatics); the Health Career Opportunity
Program; the J. Martin Klotsche Center for Physical Education; the Medical Technology
Program; and the Dept. of Occupational Therapy. Most of the files within these departments
deal with the addition of new courses or degree programs. Also included are numerous files
related to the accreditation process for programs, departments, and the entire college.
The general files of the School include materials on special projects and relationships
maintained by the Dean's Office, including Allied Health Week, affiliation agreements with
public health institutions in Milwaukee, information on remodeling of Enderis and Lapham
halls, and files on the School's participation in the Milwaukee Initiative and Milwaukee
Idea. Of particular interest are files on the establishment of a collaborative physical
therapy program with UW-La Crosse, as well as a large number of files on the budget and
program priorities of the College. The College of Health Sciences was responsible for much
of the planning of UWM's School of Public Health, and planning for that new campus unit is
reflected in the collection. Also included are yearly planning documents, UWM internal
reviews of the College as a whole, grant information, and information on credit and
curriculum changes.
