Culp will recruit instructors, create academic programs and raise the visibility of College of Communication program with an eye on preparing students for the post-graduate environment, said the school’s dean, Jacqueline Taylor. He’ll also teach a graduate course, “Career Strategies for Public Relations and Advertising. “
“At this stage of my career, it’s both important and personally rewarding to help others launch their own careers,” he said.
Culp left Ketchum in June to pursue academic interests and PR consulting. He has mentored countless PR pros through his Culpwrit blog and teaching positions.
DePaul, based in Chicago, is the largest Catholic university in the U.S.
