The records of the Women's Studies Committee at North Carolina State University span from 1981 to 1990, in addition to one document dated 1976. The papers include correspondence and other records, many of which are addressed to Lina L. Cofresi, who was integral in the success of the program. The correspondence and records are arranged chronologically in two folders. In addition to these folders, a file with collection of pamphlets, articles, and fliers, a folder of syllabi and course information, a file of newspapers and periodicals, and a folder of undated materials are included in the collection.
The formation of a Women's Studies program at North Carolina State University seems to have been an interest as early as 1976, but its establishment does not appear to be pursued actively until the early to mid 1980s. Lina L. Cofresi, a faculty member at North Carolina State University, was essential to the founding of this program. Much of the correspondence included in the records is addressed to her. The first reference to the Women's Studies Curriculum Committee is, apparently, included in a note, addressed to professor Cofresi, and attached to course curriculum from 1986. The original intent of this group was to form a Women's Studies minor and learn about how to further incorporate Women's Studies into the University. The Women's and Gender Studies Program was established at North Carolina State University in 1989. A major in Women's and Gender Studies was added in 2006. The Women's Studies Curriculum Committee is referred to by several names, these include the Women's Studies Minor Committee and the Women's Studies Program Committee.
