Biographical/Historical Note

The first Development Officer was appointed in 1962, working under the Executive Secretary of the College. The Development Office became a separate department in 1970, and was renamed the Office of Development and Alumni Relations in 1992. The name was changed again in the fall of 1994 to the Office of Development and College Relations, which indicates not only the fund raising and alumni relations functions of the office, but also its involvement in communications and public affairs. In 1998 the Vice President for Development and College Relations' title changed to Vice President for Planning and Development to reflect the office's increased role in institutional planning. The Office of Development and College Relations continues to report to the Vice President for Planning and Development. During the 2001-2002 academic year however, the Vice President for Planning and Development also became responsible for overseeing the Children's Center, Facilities Management, Security, and the Breckenridge Public Affairs Center.

Acknowledgment of non-neutrality

The George J. Mitchell Department of Special Collections & Archives, like all archives and special collections libraries, is the creation of human beings who have collected, organized, and described things in ways that reflect personal, cultural, societal, and institutional biases. Although we strive to preserve and present collections in a manner that is respectful to the individuals and communities who create, use, and are represented in the collections, we acknowledge that our systems are neither neutral nor perfect. We encourage you to let us know if you encounter materials, descriptive language, or practices that are offensive or harmful, particularly those for which inadequate context or warning is offered. We are committed to modifying and updating our descriptive practices to use respectful and inclusive terminology and appreciate your help in this work. We look forward to supporting you in your research and learning together.
