Scope and content
The University Program Council Records document the wide range of cultural, educational, and social programming organized by the UPC at South Dakota State University. Spanning various media formats—including posters, newsletters, clippings, programs, brochures, and calendars—these records capture performances and events such as concerts, dances, theatrical productions, films, lectures, festivals, and major campus traditions like Hobo Day. The materials are arranged across three boxes and cover both recurring and one-time events, reflecting UPC's central role in campus life and student engagement.
These records provide insight into student life, entertainment trends, and the evolving cultural landscape at SDSU. They showcase the efforts of student leaders to build community and enrich the collegiate experience through diverse programming. The collection also documents the institutional history of major campus traditions and celebrations.
