Office of the Dean, 1984-1999, Undated

Most materials from this series relate to the period from 1990-2000, during which time Lynn Videcka-Sherman was dean of the School of Social Welfare. These materials represent the day-to-day files from the dean’s office, and include correspondence and other communication throughout the series. There is a sizeable amount of materials relating to the National Association of Deans and Directors of Social Work (NADD), including agendas and planning documents for annual meetings. Lynn Videcka-Sherman acted as president of NADD from 1993-1995 and the materials reflect her time with the organization. Other associations represented include the New York State Association of Deans of Social Work Schools and the New York Chapter of the National Association of Social Work.

In 1997 a shift in record keeping occurred with a new system of filing all communications and day-to-day documents in folders labeled generically as "day file." This shift differed from the previous method of filing dean's correspondence and memoranda in separate folders for each year and of creating more specific folders for other materials. The archivist elected to maintain original order of the materials.
