History
In 1986 the office of Promotion Services and Information Services were joined to form the Department of Community Relations. In June of 1990 the Department of Development and Alumni was combined with Information Services to create the Department of Development, Alumni, and Community Relations. Arnice Cadieux was appointed director of the new department. In August of that year, following the disbandment of the Learning Resourse Centre, the Media Centre joined the department with Media Centre manager John Ketner reporting to Ian Marlatt, Director of Creative Services in Community Relations. On January 1, 1996, a realignment of responsibilities within Development, Alumni and Community Relations occurred with the appointment of Arnice Cadieux as Special Assistant to President Claude Lajeunesse. Ms. Cadieux retained her duties and title of Executive Director of Community Relations. The Community Relations and Development/Alumni units were briefly divided until they were again re-integrated as one department under the leadership of Bob Crow, who had been appointed Executive Director of University Development on May 1. In early 1996, the graphic and photography functions of the Media Centre were integrated into the Community Relations unit whereas the remaining audio-visual equipment functions were integrated into Computing and Communications Services.
