Cutlip, former journalism dean, dies
Scott M. Cutlip, a pioneer in public relations education who was dean of the UGA Grady College of Journalism and Mass Communication from 1976 to 1983, died Aug. 18 in Madison, Wis. Cutlip, who was 85, was diagnosed with cancer several months ago.
Cutlip was co-author of one of the best-selling public relations textbooks in history and is credited with helping establish public relations as a field of academic study. A leading trade journal last year named him one of the most influential figures in public relations in the 20th century.
Cutlip came to the Grady College as a visiting professor in January 1975 and became acting dean in June of that year. He was named dean in October of the following year. After stepping down as dean in 1983, he served as University Professor of Public Relations until his retirement in 1985. He had lived in Madison for several years.
Before coming to UGA, Cutlip spent 29 years on the faculty of the University of Wisconsin School of Journalism and Mass Communication, where he introduced the study of public relations.
