Campbell Callier Prize in Communication Disorders at the University of Texas at Dallas! This prestigious distinction recognizes individuals for their leadership in fostering scientific advances and significant developments in the diagnosis and treatment of communication disorders.

He has published 600 scientific papers and worked to translate research into clinical practice, helping establish a tinnitus treatment program and support group at the University at Buffalo, where he served as director of the Center for Hearing and Deafness for 35 years.

After 10 years and more than 200 Go Baby Go! cars, Clinical Associate Professor of Physical Therapy Jennifer Tucker, hasn’t stopped for a moment since bringing the national program to UCF and families in the local community. From organizing dozens of volunteers to engaging local schools in retrofitting the toy cars, her unwavering commitment has empowered countless children with mobility challenges while inspiring a new generation of students to give back through innovation and compassion.

She's aided in the program by alumna Cami Osier who volunteered at a car-building event during her first semester in UCF DPT's program 10 years ago, setting her on a career path in pediatric physical therapy and ultimately a second role as associate director of UCF Go Baby Go!

The UCF program, supported by a small fleet of community and philanthropic partners, is changing lives one custom car at a time.
