From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Scott Munson Cutlip (July 15, 1915 in Buckhannon, Upshur Co., West Virginia - August 18, 2000 in Madison, Dane Co., Wisconsin) was a pioneer in public relations education. He was the son of Okey Scott Cutlip and Janet Munson. He married Erna K. Flader on May 21, 1947. [1]

Cutlip served as dean of the University of Georgia's Henry W. Grady College of Journalism and Mass Communication from 1976 to 1983. [2]

Prior to that, he spent 29 years on the faculty of the UW-Madison School of Journalism and Mass Communication, introducing the study of public relations to the school. During this time, the Navy's graduate-level program, which had previously been conducted at Boston University, was shifted to UW.[3] The Scott Cutlip Scholarship is awarded to students at UW-Madison with an interest in public relations.

In 1952 he co-wrote Effective Public RelationsOCLC 1436816 with Allen H. Center.

He was diagnosed with cancer several months before his death. [2]
