Celebrating a 50-year career. Otto Lerbinger (right) retired this summer as a COM professor of mass communication, advertising, and public relations, after teaching at the college for half a century. An expert in corporate affairs and communication theory, Lerbinger was the University’s longest serving faculty member. BU alumni, faculty, friends, and students gathered at SMG to celebrate his retirement on November 5. COM announced that it had raised $35,000 to establish the Otto Lerbinger Public Relations Research Fund, which will offer financial support to the school’s graduate students, faculty, and alumni. Commemorating Lerbinger’s immigration to the United States from Germany as a young boy, COM Professor Emeritus Norman Moyes (left) presents Lerbinger with a photo he took this fall of the Statue of Liberty.
