Name of creator
Administrative history
Since the college's opening in 1970 until a name change in the late 1990s, the Public Information Office (PIO) was responsible for promoting the institution both within the campus community and throughout the Lower Mainland. The PIO shared information about programming and events, working with the administration and other internal stakeholders to develop and promote the College's public image. The office produced advertisements, drafted speeches and press releases, designed posters and brochures, and publicized the accomplishments of faculty, staff, and students. William Bell led the PIO as Public Information Officer from the early 1970s until 1992. He was succeeded by Brad Barber.
In 1996, the Public Information Office became the Communications and Marketing Office.
Custodial history
Records were held in their office of origin until being transferred to the Archives. The first accession (of materials from 1971-1980) occurred in 1983.
