History
Continuing Education was started at the young Michigan State University-Oakland (the future Oakland University) in 1958 under the direction of Lowell Eklund. In 1963 alumni relations were added to his portfolio. Thanks to Eklund’s leadership the Division of Continuing Education was very active in community engagement in the 1960s and 1970s. It organized numerous conferences, forums, and other events in professional and cultural subjects for the community. Particularly successful was the Continuum Center which offered programming to adult women. It also developed diploma programs and courses.
The Division of Continuing Education ceased operations in 1996, when continuing education programs were included in the other academic units.
Scope and Contents note
The Oakland University Continuing Education Center records document the activities of the center from its founding. The Lowell Eklund Files contain memos, correspondence, and notes about the early mission and programs of the center, as well as about its evolution in the 1960s and early 1970s. The Elizabeth Gossett Files also document early activities of the center, especially its symposium series, women's conferences, and projects for alumni continuing education. The other Administrative Files include miscellaneous memos and correspondence about continuing education programs in the 1980s. The Classes and Programs File contain documentation about the late 1970s evening program for GM employees and well as other programs of the 1980s. Finally the Publications Files hold schedules of classes and brochures produced by the center over the years.
