As part an LBJ School organizational change that went into effect last September, the Publications Office was renamed the Office of Communications.

The office, which has existed since the early 1970s, manages the School's publishing program and coordinates the production and distribution of special public service publications such as the Guide to Texas State Agencies. In recent years the office has also assumed responsibility for the design and maintenance of the LBJ School¹s central Web site and the School's media relations.

To reflect these changes, the office's name was changed and Marilyn Duncan, who had headed the Publications Office since 1977, was named director of communications.

To assist with the office's expanded role in external communications, a new public affairs specialist position was created and Megan Scarborough, a 1998 UT Austin graduate, was hired to fill that post.
