MoreRecords relating to projects and initiatives undertaken by the Department of Textile and Apparel Technology and Management in the College of Textiles at North Carolina State University and related programs for the years 1924 - 1985. These records contain articles, brochures, budget records, clippings, photographs, memoranda, and correspondence. Included is information on faculty members, lectures, and department finances. The School of Textiles (later College of Textiles) at North Carolina State University began classes in the fall of 1899, primarily due to Daniel Tompkins's interest in having a textile program at what was then the North Carolina College of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts. Since 1963, the Department of Textile and Apparel Technology and Management (TATM) has functioned as a discrete department (albeit under several different names) within the the College of Textiles. Of course, the College of Textiles has conducted research since its earliest days, both independently and in collaboration with corporate and government partners. And it appears that many of the College's pre-1963 research records have been merged with those of the Department of Textile and Apparel Technology and Management.

MoreThe Preprofessional Health Sciences Review Committee Records include memos, correspondence, flyers, and other records produced by the North Carolina State University Preprofessional Health Sciences Review Committee from 1979 to 1992, with a gap from 1981 to 1989.

Later records contain averaged data about students who were accepted to preprofessional health sciences programs and information about program requirements that the committee would need in order to better assist future applicants. The North Carolina State University Preprofessional Health Sciences Review Committee is a group that reviews students' professional school application packages. The committee has been renamed the North Carolina State University Health Professions Review Committee. This committee is comprised of faculty from different areas that review all medical, dental, optometry, physician assistant and pharmacy applicants who choose to have their files reviewed by the committee and a composite submitted on their behalf. The committee makes a "university committee recommendation" for each applicant reviewed and submits this along with the student's "composite" review committee recommendation to each school to which they ask to have their file sent. The committee began in 1975 according to a piece of correspondence in the collection and exists in the present as of 2012, but there is no clear mention of specific people associated with beginning this committee. During the time of the collection that dates from 1979 to 1992, Dr. John Roberts and former Chancellor Dr. James L. Oblinger.

MoreThis collection contains correspondence, reports and other material about named professorships and teaching awards at North Carolina State University, 1959 - 1993. In mid-1986, with the advice of the Faculty Senate, the chancellor established the concept of "professors of distinction" as the broad descriptor of all kinds of distinctively-titled professorships, "including distinguished visiting scholars," and provided procedures for according such distinctions upon individuals. Those procedures provide that faculty committees, comprised in the majority by individuals holding such formal distinctions, be consulted in the process of searching for or naming particular individuals in such positions and that the final review and decision on such distinctions rested with the chancellor upon the advice of the provost, the vice chancellor for research, and the dean of the graduate school.

In 1917, the institution's name was changed to North Carolina State College of Agriculture and Engineering (State College). In 1931 the College greatly reworked its curricula as it underwent consolidation. Along with North Carolina College for Women and the University of North Carolina, it became a part of the Consolidated University of North Carolina,. North Carolina State is now one of the constituent institutions of the multi-campus University of North Carolina system, having received university status, and, after some controversy, assumed its current name in 1965.
