The Placement Office at Pembroke College in Providence, Rhode Island was originally known as the Appointment Bureau in the early 1920s. Its name was changed to the Office of Admission and Personnel in the late 1920s, then to the Placement Office from 1944 to 1963, and finally to the Office of Placement and Career Planning from 1963 until Pembroke merged with Brown University in 1971.
