                       Friday, September 4, 2020

  Mr. TAYLOR. Madam Speaker, today, I rise to recognize Dr. Thomas 
Campbell, a respected leading researcher in the area of speech and 
language skills and the longtime Executive Director of the Callier 
Center for Communication Disorders at the University of Texas at Dallas 
(UTD) in Texas' Third Congressional District.
  Tom Campbell earned his bachelor's and master's degrees from the 
University of Nebraska-Lincoln and his Ph.D. from the University of 
Wisconsin-Madison. After spending several years at the Glenrose 
Rehabilitation Hospital in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada where he conducted 
studies of the speech and language skills of children recovering from 
traumatic brain injuries, Dr. Campbell's work took him to the 
University of Pittsburgh where he served as a faculty member in the 
Department of Communication Science and Disorders.
  Following his later service as Director of Audiology and 
Communication Disorders at the Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh, in 
2006 Dr. Campbell was named the Executive Director of the Callier 
Center for Communication Disorders in Dallas, Texas.
  For the past fourteen years, Dr. Campbell has built a successful 
education and research enterprise leading to UTD's undisputed 
reputation as a national model for the study of communication 
disorders. Due to his steadfast leadership, the Callier Center is 
consistently ranked in the top ten of graduate programs nationwide in 
the areas of audiology and speech-language pathology.
  Among his many achievements, Dr. Campbell is credited with the 
establishment of the Callier postdoctoral program, the creation of both 
the Callier Prize in Communication Disorders and the Ruth and Ken 
Altshuler Callier Care Award. He is also credited with the 2016 
construction of the new Callier building on the UTD Richardson campus.
  Dr. Campbell's most lasting legacy lies in the many lives he has 
influenced through his work. Known as a ``humble teacher and terrific 
role model'' it is evident respect for this consummate servant leader 
runs deep among all who have interacted with him, patients and peers 
alike.
  As Dr. Campbell prepares to begin a new season of life, along his 
wife, Dr. Christine Dollaghan, I ask my colleagues in the United States 
House of Representatives to join me in recognizing him for his selfless 
and dedicated efforts as the Executive Director of the Callier Center 
at the University of Texas at Dallas and to wish him well in his future 
endeavors.
