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.

Susan Mulrean, an associate administrator in the Office of Grant and Contract Accounting, won a weekend getaway for two at the Hotel Commonwealth in the fifth drawing of BU’s 2004 United Way campaign on November 12. “I was very surprised,” she says, “because I’m not somebody who ever really wins anything. I was very happy to receive it.”

The annual United Way fund drive began October 1. Participants who contribute $75 or more ($1.45 a week) are still eligible to win the grand prize, a travel package for two to any location in the continental United States. The grand prize drawing takes place at the University Holiday Party on December 16.

As of November 12, Boston University employees had contributed more than $142,100 to the United Way Campaign, representing 86 percent of BU’s $165,000 campaign goal. For more information on giving to the United Way, call 617-358-UWAY, or visit www.uwmb.org.
