Larry Rankin shepherded some of Wichita State's most successful teams through their media duties over the past 25 years. His work documenting those seasons and coordinating coverage provides highlights of his resume.
Rankin also shepherded co-workers and students through their introduction to the media relations profession. His good humor and even-keeled manner provided a springboard into the career for many with a blueprint for balancing work and family life.
"What I loved most about Larry in the two years that I was a GA on his staff was his care for all of us," said Todd Zeidler, assistant director of athletics/communications at Gonzaga.
