At age 74, an advertising/public relations professor is calling it quits after 40 years in education.
Doug Newsom, professor and director of the College of Communication's advertising/public relations graduate program, is retiring next spring, saying she always thought 75 would be a good age to retire.
"I never intended on teaching for so long - it just happened," she said.
Newsom said she loves teaching simply because it is rewarding, and she loves helping students.
