Documents concerning the twenty fifth National Convention of the YWCA of the U.S.A. National Student Assembly. The National Student Assembly is the national governing body for the student associations in the YWCA of the U.S.A. The assemblies meet to discuss issues of national importance to student groups, set policy, adopt changes to bylaws and report to the convention. Minutes of the assembly and planning committee summarize the discussions and planning process. Correspondence, newsletters and memos sent to association's prior to the assembly meeting share information about the contents of the assembly, announce information about registration and accommodations and distribute proposed changes to the bylaws. Also included are registration forms and delegate rosters.
