his colleagues and students to
pay their last respects to
someone who had given so
much to the school,” said
Shirley Staples Carter, director
of the School of Journalism and
Mass Communications.
A listserv e-mail sent Monday
notified students of Wardrip’s
death and class cancellations.
Wardrip first began teaching
at USC in 1986, after teaching
at the University of Texas and
Texas Tech University. He last
taught at USC in fall 2004.
One of Wardrip’s most
notable contributions to the
school is the Maymester trip to
New York City he created 10
years ago. Students have met
with numerous professionals in
the advertising and public
relations industries, many of
whom are Wardrip’s former
students, through the trip.
Charles Bierbauer, dean of
the College of Mass
Communications and
Information Studies, called
Wardrip’s May class “a unique
course that took advertising
and public relations students
outside the classroom and into
the working world. His
network of former students
who stayed in touch and hosted
his current students reflects on
his effectiveness and impact as a
teacher.”
The SJMC has created a
scholarship in Wardrip’s name
for students in his Maymester
program.
“In the simplest of terms, I
liked the guy and will miss him
and his spirit,” Bierbauer said.
