Administrative history
The Home Economics Club was composed of students interested in both professional home economics and homemaking. Operating under its own constitution, the club was affiliated with the State Home Economics Association and the American Home Economics Association (now the American Association of Family and Consumer Sciences). Its primary purpose was to foster friendships among students and faculty in the College of Home Economics while promoting professional development and interests. Club activities aimed to support the organization’s goals, enhance members’ knowledge and skills, broaden cultural awareness, and provide professional and social experience benefiting the community, school, and nation.
