Records of an Mennonite Board of Missions ministry formed in the late 1950s with the goals of creating awareness of the number of Mennonite students attending non-Mennonite colleges and universities, encouraging Mennonite students to form Mennonite fellowships at secular universities, helping Mennonite students maintain ties to other Mennonite students, and providing spiritual support to Mennonite undergraduate and graduate students. Created as the Student Services Committee, the ministry's name was changed in 1978 to the Student and Young Adult Services Committee.
Records include meeting minutes, reports of visits made to Mennonite student fellowships, reports on the number of Mennonite students attending non-Mennonite colleges and universities, policies, newsletters, speakers' bureau information, and miscellaneous materials. Researchs will find information about the Mennonite student housing cooperative in Philadelphia in these records.
