Hammond Council PTA Scholarship Fund, 1980

The Office of Advancement collection contains records in four series: SERIES I: ADMINISTRATIVE RECORDS, 1972-2001 [bulk 1972-1987]                 Series I contains administrative records of the office and financial records of Purdue University Calumet. The series includes lists of donors and gifts, correspondence, publication costs for an Office brochure, records from the Estate Planning/Planned Giving Seminar, Quarterly Reports, records about membership in the Chancellor’s Council, and newspaper clippings. In addition, this series includes the records for the fundraising “Plan for the Eighties,” which was a development plan hosted by West Lafayette. University Development officials corresponded with Calumet administrators to fundraise for this plan as well. The Plan for the Eighties helped inspire Purdue University Calumet administrators to develop an internal Office of Development (i.e. Advancement) to handle its own fundraising efforts.
