Dr. H. W. "Bill" Heller launched the Unofficial Grapevine in June 1993 as an "effort to improve communication throughout the campus" (June 1993, Vol. 1, Issue 1). Heller served as Dean of USF St. Petersburg, the chief administrative position at the time. Known for having an open door policy and a strong belief in sharing information, Heller envisioned this newsletter as a way for employees at USF St. Petersburg to learn about notable activities, milestones, and accomplishments. Each issue included a section known as the "Dean's Corner," a place where Heller mentioned items of personal interest about his vision for USF St. Petersburg and gave his thoughts about those activities worth celebrating across the institution.
The format of the newsletter generally remained the same throughout its ten-year publication. Published on a monthly basis during the academic year, the issues included a calendar of events, profiles of faculty and staff, notes about faculty and staff presentations and publications, outreach activities that touched the larger community, and photographs from campus events. Volume and issue numbers sometimes varied from the traditional academic calendar.
The Unofficial Grapevine ceased publication during the fall of 2002, shortly after Dr. Ralph Wilcox replaced Heller as interim Vice President and Campus Executive Officer. A web-based issue known as "Grapevine" briefly appeared in 2003, but was discontinued shortly thereafter.
