Charles Bierbauer was dean of the College of Information and Communications at the University of South Carolina for 15 years, retiring in 2018. He also served the university as interim vice president of communications.
As CNN’s senior White House correspondent from 1984 to 1993, Bierbauer said he was not ready for some smart 25-year-old to take his job. As dean and professor of journalism at the University of South Carolina from 2002 to 2018, he took pride in preparing the smart 25-year-olds.
Bierbauer guided the college through its early development, earning the respect of students, faculty and staff. Among his many accomplishments, the most salient was his success in securing a new home for the School of Journalism and Mass Communications at 800 Sumter Street in 2015.
The Charles Bierbauer Endowed Scholarship fund supports students who demonstrate the integrity, attention to detail and dedication to truthfulness that Bierbauer exemplified throughout his career.
