History
The Bureau of Student Aid was formed 1905 to assist Tech students in finding part time work while at school. In the years that followed, the Bureau expanded to assist both graduating students and alumni. The Bureau maintained relationships with companies and institutions that were relevant to the fields of study offered at the University. Interested students were interviewed by the Bureau so that they could arrange subsequent interviews with appropriate employers. To show the effects that the Bureau had on the futures of the students and alumni, the members submitted yearly reports to the head of their division. Since its inception, the Bureau has undergone many name changes resulting from administrative division realignments including the Bureau of Recommendations (1914-1940) and the Bureau of Placements (1940-circa 1975).
