Student conferences, 1951-1960
Scope and Contents
Documents concerning the planning, evaluation and program of the Geneva, Middle Atlantic, New England, New York and Pacific Northwest regional student association conferences. The regional joint YWCA and YMCA student conferences or Student Christian Movement conferences are a chance for students and leaders to meet others from their region, discuss national and regional issues affecting them and participate in recreational activities. Documents include planning materials and planning committee minutes, preparatory materials sent to delegates, pamphlets and flyers announcing the conference, notes and reports of conference sessions, post-conference evaluations and conference bulletins. Conferences address a wide range of topics with a central focus on the role of religion and student Christian associations in student and campus life.
