History
There was a Department of Alumni Affairs in the 1960s at York, with the Director of the Department of Information and Publications serving as Director of Alumni Affairs. In the 1970s the Alumni Affairs Office was created within the Department of Information and Publications. By the late 1970s there were plans to discontinue the Office, but it was revived as part of a new Department of Development and Alumni Affairs. In 1987 a separate Department of Alumni Affairs was established under the Vice President (External Relations).
The Department serves the interests of university alumni, especially the York Alumni Association for which it provides a secretariat, coordinates events, services and programs, promotes the development of branches and chapters, and acts as liaison for it with the wider university environment. In addition it published 'Alumni News ', 'Communique', 'Via' and 'Futures', four
publications which informed the York alumni community about activities and people at York. These were replaced by 'York Profiles ' (1989) which appears three times a year.
