Historical Note

Since 2005 the department has been led by and Assistant VP who reports to the VP for Marketing, Communications and Admissions. The University had a Public Relations Department from 1968 with its own Director who reported directly to the President. The same year, it was quickly renamed the Department of Public Information. As the University grew, the Director began reporting to the VP for Community Relations from 1974. In 1979, it was briefly renamed the Office of Information Services before becoming the Office of Public Affairs the following year. In 1987, the Director began reporting to the VP for University Relations, and in 1990, the Director became the Assistant VP for University Relations and Director of Public Affairs. In 1997, the department was renamed the Office of Public Relations. In 2000, department's work was divided and News and Information was created under an Associate VP for University Relations and Director of News and Information.
