Known by many as the “Father of Public Relations,” UM graduate (BA ’40) Harold Burson has long been one our university’s most notable alumni. Now at 93 years young, the Memphis native is one of the founding members of Burson-Marsteller, one of the largest public relations companies in the world and has quite a story to tell. Check out this great feature on Burson from PRWeek UK’s Alex Benady.
Here’s a great photo of Burson from the 1940 Ole Miss Yearbook.
