Background

Scope and content:

Records from the Office of Multicultural Programs, specifically pertaining to their work on events. Much of the collection pertains to Mountaineer Week, which is an event that celebrates Appalachian culture and heritage. Other materials pertain to programs like WVU Up All Night (also known as UpAllNight and WVUp All Night), which is an award winning late night program for students to participate in during the weekends; the Madrigal Dinner formerly hosted at the Mountainlair; movie viewing events; and more. Regarding the Mountaineer Week materials, the binders include correspondence, printed material such as promotional material, vendor forms (note that the 1995 binder starts in 1994 and includes vendor forms for the Jackson's Mill Jubilee), budgets and other financial documentation, clippings, etc. The binders focus on planning the various events that go into Mountaineer Week, including a beard growing challenge, races, children's activities, the craft fair, the country vittles dinner, turkey calling, storytelling, music, and more.
