Biographical/Historical Note
The News Bureau directs the University's news program, prepares news releases, edits University publications and coordinates University relations with the media. In 1948, the Director of Publicity handled campus public relations. By the mid- 1960s the Assistant to the President in Charge of Public Affairs coordinated activities related to public relations, publications, and alumni relations. These duties were divided among several related offices in the early 1970s with the Office of University Relations (later named University News and Publications) overseeing the University's public relations and publications programs. In 1985 the office was divided again to create the News Bureau and the Office of Publications.
