  • WSU University Relations Division Records
    University Relations Division Collection Papers, 1936-1977 (predominantly, 1949-1977) 64.5 linear feet Accession # 5 OCLC # DALNET # The papers of the University Relations Division reflect the activities of Wayne’s public relations offices. They consist of press releases, photographs, correspondence, minutes, reports, and clippings. The papers focus on general subjects, including the promotion of the United States Bicentennial, Wayne's Centennial, the Michigan Legislature's allocation and Wayne's budget, and Wayne's athletics program. The Division underwent several name changes to more accurately reflect its services. In the 1940s it was called the Community Relations Program and aimed to establish a working relationship between the University and any group or individual within the community with the intent of selling the University as a service institution to the community. In August of 1949, all University activities and programs related to public communication and interpretation of the University’s work were integrated to form the Division of Community Relations under the direction of Percival Dodge. The new division included the Office of Press Relations, Wayne University Speakers’ Bureau, and the Office of Community Services. William E. Stirton replaced Dodge as the director on July 1, 1952. Frank X. Tuohey replaced Stirton in October of 1955. The Office of Press Relations and Publication Services, under Tuohey’s direction, assisted all units of the University in internal and external relations projects. The office was divided into art, printing, publications, and press relations. The primary function of the Office of Press Relations was to interpret the University to the community through all available media such as newspapers, magazines, radio and television.

  • For Immediate Release Dso Celebrates Conclusion of Orchestra Hall Centennial with Unveiling of Artist Ken Aptekar's I Hear An
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE DSO CELEBRATES CONCLUSION OF ORCHESTRA HALL CENTENNIAL WITH UNVEILING OF ARTIST KEN APTEKAR’S I HEAR AN ECHO Commissioned by Gary L. Wasserman & Charles A. Kashner in honor of DSO President and CEO Anne Parsons, painting will remain on display in the William Davidson Atrium of the Max M. and Marjorie S. Fisher Music Center Detroit, (October 26, 2020) – On Friday, the Detroit Symphony Orchestra (DSO) unveiled a new work by celebrated artist Ken Aptekar titled I hear an echo (2020). The painting, which references Orchestra Hall’s opening in 1919 and DSO’s then-music director Ossip Gabrilowitsch, was commissioned by Gary L. Wasserman & Charles A. Kashner as a tribute to the Orchestra Hall centennial and in honor of DSO President and CEO Anne Parsons. The unveiling ceremony took place on Orchestra Hall’s 101st birthday, Friday, October 23 at 6:30 p.m. for a small number of socially distanced guests in the William Davidson Atrium of the Max M. and Marjorie S. Fisher Music Center (The Max), where the painting will remain on display and viewable through the DSO’s front doors on Woodward Avenue. This partnership exemplifies the DSO’s collaborative spirit and shared vision for combining and supporting arts, artists, and culture of all kinds at The Max. The ceremony also featured a performance by DSO Acting Concertmaster Kimberly Kaloyanides Kennedy. Born and raised in Detroit, Aptekar is the son of art and music educators and credits the DSO and the Detroit Institute of Arts (DIA) as “keys to who [he] became as an artist.” He grew up attending DSO concerts at the orchestra’s then home of Ford Auditorium under music director Paul Paray, but heard DSO recordings from Orchestra Hall and longed to experience the outstanding acoustics firsthand.
