unit was established under the Vice Chancellor of Public Affairs. In 1970, Public Affairs was renamed University Relations
and reported directly to the Chancellor. University Relations was responsible for maintaining positive relations and communications
with the community, including development and publications in a variety of media, such as film. Over the years University
Relations evolved into University Communications.
