The records of the Division of University Relations primarily consists of files relating to
campus development, major campus events, or departments/organizations of interest to the
Division. There is a particular emphasis on neighborhood relations in the collection, with
numerous files on the subject and a run of the community newsletter, Notes to
Neighbors, from 1975-1985. Many of the files detail plans for construction,
renovation, or demolition of various campus properties, such as the 1973 Lapham Hall
renovation or the construction of the Sandburg residence halls. Also included are files on
campus committees of interest to University Relations, including the Advisory Committee on
Minority/Disadvantaged Student Life, Faculty Orientation Committee, and the University
Relations Faculty governance committee (on which the Assistant Chancellor had a permanent ex
officio seat). There are also a small number of files of correspondence dealing with
production of two of UWM's official publications, UWM Today and UWM
Report.
Also included in the collection are a small number of administrative files of the Division,
including Budget Planning Documents, Land Use and Zoning reports for various sites on and
off campus, and general correspondence of the Assistant Chancellor.
