The Science House became a national model for the interaction of university science departments and K-12 students and teachers. It began as the primary learning outreach program of NC State’s College of Physical and Mathematical Sciences, and its mission has been to increase student enthusiasm for science and mathematics by partnering with teachers and schools to promote hands-on, inquiry-based learning. It engages faculty and students at NC State University and other institutions to enrich teachers’ content knowledge and to help students visualize careers in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics disciplines. The Science House has existed since 1991, and it is located in Centennial Campus with 8,400 square feet of classrooms, offices, a teaching laboratory, and a computer-learning center as well as six satellite locations throughout North Carolina. In 2013, the Science House became part of the new College of Sciences.

MoreNorth Carolina State University's University Government Committee Records include memos, reports, drafts and letters documenting the work of at the committee. The most prominent aspect of that work was the establishment of the Faculty Senate and the refinement of mechanisms for faculty representation in University academic administration during the years 1952-1974. There are also a single folder of materials relating to an earlier iteration of the Committee and its 1946 report, and a folder of documents from the mid-1980s regarding faculty status of librarians. Aside from this folder, the records do not document the Committee's activities after 1974, although the Committee appears to remain in existence up to the present (August 2011). A College Committee on Government and Administration was formed in 1945 to survey the governmental structure of the then North Carolina State College. It issued a report and appears to have disbanded the following year. In 1952 a Committee on College Government was formed to recommend "an instrument of faculty government." Based on its recommendations, a Faculty Senate was instituted on a three-year trial basis in 1954, and the Committee was charged with observing the faculty government and make recommendations for its improvement. The trial period was extended an additional three years in 1957, and in 1960 the Committee recommended that the Senate be established on a permanent basis. The Committee continued to observe faculty government, and made additional recommendations. Its name was changed to the University Government Committee in 1967. The committee was abolished in 2006 and its duties are now handled by the Executive Committee of the Faculty Senate.

MoreThe University Planning Committee Records contain meeting agendas and minutes, memos, calendars, reports, and other documents produced by and about the North Carolina State University, University Planning Committee from 1948 to 1991 with a gap from 1953 to 1983. While the purpose of the committee was to plan the development of the university, the contents within the collection are primarily about the committee itself. According to the contents of the collection, the North Carolina State University, University Planning Committee was meant to develop university-wide, long-range goals that serve as guidelines for the development of departments, colleges, schools, and administrative units. These goals were related to research, graduate education, diversity, and several other subtopics. The earliest documentation from 1948 calls the entity the Planning Committee of the School of Engineering of the North Carolina State College of Agriculture and Engineering at the University of North Carolina, indicating that the committee was originally formed only for the School of Engineering and later expanded to serve the university as a whole. There is no record of when this committee began or who started it; from the collection, it is clear that it existed in some form as of 1948. The University Planning Committee appears to have existed as late as 2005 but in the present, as of 2012, it has been replaced by the Strategic Planning Committee started in 2010 by Chancellor Randy Woodson. This committee serves the same functions as the University Planning Committee.

MoreThis collection contains announcements, annual reports, applications, architectural drawings and specifications, brochures, bulletins, constitutions, contracts, correspondence, handbooks, manuals, membership lists, minutes, programs, scrapbooks, time reports, and work plans. The records document the activities of the office from 1903 to 1989. From 1908 to 1974, the office of Religious Affairs was nearly synonymous with the Young Men's Christian Association (YMCA), as the records indicate. Hence, the collection also includes the records of the Danforth Chapel from 1955 to 1976, the International Student Center from 1955 to 1965, and the Self-Help Bureau from 1932 to 1941. The Office of Religious Affairs grew out of the Young Men's Christian Association (YMCA) and the leadership of Edward S. King, who served North Carolina State College (later North Carolina State University) through the YMCA from 1919 to 1955. The campus branch of the YMCA was established in 1889 and was the site of the following activities and events: regular Sunday services; Bible study classes; a published montly paper; a handbook for freshmen and prospective students; speakers and discussion groups; a game room for students; a barbershop; and the Self-Help Bureau, which helped students secure employment while in college. The YMCA branch existed on campus until 1982.
