Administrative History Note

In 1941, Michigan State Normal College's health services members were involved in the war effort by helping the Department of Defense assess candidates for aviation. In 1954, the university announced the rededication of the Health Residence to the Glenadine C. Snow Memorial Health Residence. Renovations in the late 1950s included the construction of a new facility, housing both preventative and remedial medicine. In 1967, the university created a student counseling program, and a drug and alcohol abuse prevention program followed in 1993.
