Historical Note
The Board of Directors of the Northwest District of the Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod, in October, 1942, recommended that Concordia’s Board of Control appoint a “public relations man” for the school to arouse greater interest in the school on the parts of pastors and congregations and to enhance enrollment. Subsequently in the following January, the Board asked Professor Carl Nitz to add to his list of responsibilities outside contact work with congregations and pastors of the district.
When Thomas Coates became President, the Board informed him that public relations would also be one of his duties. He apparently was the first to begin publishing a formal newsletter, C=Notes, that was included in The Lutheran Witness. Subsequently the responsibility for publications fell to the Department of Public Relations. The Concordia University Foundation eventually assumed responsibility for public relations and began publishing The Portlander in 1993.
