Director's Office | University of Illinois Archives

Name: Director's Office

Historical Note:

The University Office of Corporate and Public Services was created in 1986 when the director of the

University Office of Federal and Corporate Relations resigned and the duties of the office were given

to the University Office of Public Relations, which started in 1973, and the new unit was renamed.

The Office is an all-University organization, and is under the direction of the Vice-President for

Academic Affairs. The Offices of Corporate Relations, Intellectual Property, Statewide

Programming, the University Film Center, the Fire Service Institute, and the Police Training Institute

were under the direction of the Office. The Office of Federal Relations was also under Corporate

and Public Service until 1989. The Office is charged with coordinating continuing education and

serves as a liaison between the state and the University of Illinois.
