Scope and Content of Collection

"University Relations focuses on the relationship of UCSB with its publics – the campus community, alumni, support groups, the community at large, and government. It cultivates commitment to the institution's goals, fosters acceptance and endorsement of the institution and its programs, participates in making the case for the institution and transmits that case to UCSB's publics and brings them together to achieve the institution's goals."
From "Mission of University Relations," Planning Guide 1982-1983, folder 4.
The Office of University Relations coordinated with Alumni Affairs, Development, Public Affairs, the Affiliates, the Office of Public Information, Public Events, Governmental Relations, and the UCSB Foundation to achieve its goals. The office's scope and responsibilities are now handled by the Division of Institutional Advancement, which oversees the following departments (as of 2010): the Vice Chancellor's Office, Alumni Affairs / Alumni Association, Development Office, Economic Forecast Project, Governmental Relations, Public Affairs, Public Events, the Campaign for UC Santa Barbara, and the UC Santa Barbara Foundation.
The collection contains planning guides, files on governmental relations, and a proposal for a Humanities research and symposium center.
