History
Visitor and Cultural Resources was created in 1992 as part of the Office of Public Relations. Its mandate was to develop, coordinate, and implement interpretive programs and educational material for University tours. The unit was to act as a liaison between the University and the members of the public interested in the cultural resources located on campus. Interpreters were employed and trained to conduct general campus tours or specific museum and gallery tours. Due to financial constraints Visitor and Cultural Resources was made redundant in early 1994. Melanie Boyd was the only head of the unit (1992-1994).
