International Student Organization
Collection Scope and Contents
Materials in this collection include flyers, memorandums, correspondence, sign-in sheets, contact lists, and other miscellaneous documents having to do with the International Student Organization of Springfield College. Mostly the materials concerning “coffee hours” held by the club between 1996-2001. These “coffee hours” were events that focused on introducing the campus community to areas of the world where International students came from or had experience with such as Hong Kong or Japan. There are flyers, official invitations, and lists of attendees. The most complete year for these materials is the 1996-1997 school year, where there appear to be materials on all the coffee hours, occurring once a month during the school year, held for that year.
