Subject Files

Scope and content:

Arranged alphabetically.

Series 3: Subject Files, 1951-2015, is the largest in the collection. Materials include budgets, course descriptions, six-year plans, and contracts. Additionally, there are many documents concerning the Career Days event held yearly by the Nursing Department. These materials include letters written by JMU staff inviting different hospitals or nursing facilities to attend and speak with juniors and seniors about possible job opportunities and real-life nursing experience. Other materials include lists of graduating students and commencement bulletins for the years 1982-1986. Along with course syllabi, course requirements, and student policies, this series also contains College of Nursing Newsletters. Correspondence between faculty members, photographs (1990-1998), and articles concerning nursing students are included along with pinning ceremony documents.

Although there are photographs in this series, the majority of photographs can be found in Series 4: Photographs, 1980-2015 (bulk 1982-1999).
