Pat J. Bosco worked as vice president for student life and dean of students at K-State, initially starting his career at the university as director of student activities. Under his former title, Bosco worked on everything related to students, including admissions, career and employment services, housing and dining, student crisis, parent and family programming, and student financial assistance. Due to this, within this collection is an eclectic assortment of various materials that fall under the grand umbrella of his job title. The majority of content is categorized under "correspondence," due to the larger scope of his work, much of this correspondence is interdisciplinary and interdepartmental. Besides the generalized correspondence, the rest of the collection is sorted into All-University Open Houses, Enrollment Management, Student Life Administration, and Workshops. The collection covers from 1986-2003. However, the bulk of correspondence lies between 1986-1989 and 2000-2003. Additionally, the Workshops included also include later years not found in the rest of the collection, ranging up to 2017. K-State Decathlon folder added to box 7.
