New Video Showcases College's Global Activities

By Karen Guin

A new video produced under the direction of Jack Ryalls, professor of communication sciences and disorders, showcases many of the College of Health and Public Affairs' research activities at locations around the world. The video begins in Orlando, then heads south to Costa Rica and then veers west for additional stop-off points in Hong Kong, China, South Korea, Turkmenistan, Russia, Turkey, France and Britain before returning to the sunshine state.

Ryalls engaged communication sciences and disorders' students Randi Baumgartner, Gary Adams and Adam Stockey to tape original scenes for the video. He also tapped the talents of Ryan Retherford in the University of Central Florida's Office of Instructional Resources to create a visual path that circumnavigates the globe using Google Earth. In addition, Ryalls employed an original musical score written by Benjamin Zeilstra, a young man with muscular dystrophy who is associated with the Florida Alliance for Assistive Services and Technology. FAAST has a regional demonstration center at UCF.
