Ludwig A. Michael, MD Callier Center Executive Directorship

The Ludwig A. Michael MD Callier Center Executive Directorship pays tribute to Michael for his outstanding service as a trustee and former president of the Foundation for the Callier Center and Communication Disorders. The directorship was established through an initial gift from the Communities Foundation of Texas. Michael was a prominent Dallas otolaryngologist and played a pivotal role in the Callier Center’s early years. Michael joined the staff of Baylor University Medical Center, where he served two terms as chief of otolaryngology in the 1960s and 1970s. He also served on the clinical faculty of UT Southwestern Medical Center for more than 50 years. He died in 2015.

“The Callier Center and UT Dallas are organizations that share my passion and belief in the value of interprofessional collaboration, excellence in research and education, commitment to improving the lives of individuals and families, and joining with community members to advance research, educational and clinical initiatives. Having had the opportunity to know Dr. Michael and his wife and observe directly their enduring commitment to these same ideals makes me feel particularly honored to hold the Ludwig A. Michael MD Executive Directorship of the Callier Center.”
