Five years later he returned to RIT to teach illustration and drawing. Ulp remained at RIT for 39 years, serving as the head of the Art and Design department from 1920 until his retirement in 1952. Ulp is remembered primarily for his landscapes. He was a popular public speaker and well-known figure in Rochester in the 1920s and early 1930s, during which time he served as president of the Rochester Art Club.
