Biographical/Historical Note
University Relations is the department of the university that
interacts with elected officials, the media, chambers of commerce, businesses,
social organizations, government agencies, and local and national leaders to
further the goals of the university. A Director of Public Relations was first
appointed in 1966. As the university developed so did its need for liaisons
with others. In 1974, the Office of Community Relations filled this need, but
nine years later it had become the Office of University Relations. During its
lifetime the office has overseen a variety of activities; in 2008 the divisions
within University Relations include Economic Development, Governmental
Relations, News and Information, University Marketing, and Alumni Relations. D.
Robert McGinnis, Vice President from 1986-1992, was also Executive director of
the UCF Foundation, and his files form the basis for much of the collection.
