The University Program Council Records document the cultural, educational, and social programming organized by the council at South Dakota State University. The collection includes posters, newsletters, clippings, programs, brochures, and calendars related to concerts, dances, theatrical productions, films, lectures, festivals, and campus traditions such as Hobo Day. Arranged in three boxes, the materials cover both recurring and single occurrence events and reflect the council’s role in coordinating campus programming.

These records provide documentation of student activities and campus events and illustrate the scope of programming supported through student leadership. The collection offers evidence of changing entertainment offerings and campus traditions and supports research on student life and organizational activity at the university.
