The UWM Center for International Education, formerly the Office of International Studies and Programs, was formed in 1957 to oversee, coordinate, and encourage all forms of international activity at UWM, and also coordinate numerous exchange programs for undergraduates, graduate students, and faculty. Records from 1965 to 1970 deal primarily with UWM connections to Brazil, Venezuela, and other South American countries. Several conferences are also documented in the records, and include audio tapes of a 1964 Peace Corps conference held at Wingspread in Racine, Wisconsin. The collection contains numerous directories of faculty with international interests and connections, and a 39 tape lesson series from the Oral Brazilian Portuguese Language Project. The majority of the records from 1982 to 2014 consist of newsletters and brochures. Electronic records include publicity materials for the Center's programs, documentation of the development of the international studies major, and subject files related to the administration of UWM's Model UN program.
