Professor Emeritus in the Department of Child and Family Studies Dr. Hewitt B. "Rusty" Clark and his spouse, Rebecca Clark, have graciously named our college in their will. When realized, this legacy gift will establish the ABA Research Award Founded by Hewitt "Rusty" & Rebecca Clark. Dr. Clark co-founded the master's and doctoral programs in Applied Behavior Analysis at USF.

 This endowed scholarship/award will benefit graduate students who are conducting and publishing applied research related to child, youth, and/or young adult development or human behavior associated with other socially significant issues. Thank you to Dr. and Mrs. Clark for your planned support of our students! We are so grateful for your generosity.
