Prestige Speaker Day at Cleveland State University was inaugurated in 1992 in celebration of Physical Therapy month. It is designed to provide an opportunity for CSU physical therapy students, alumni, and physical therapists in the Greater Cleveland area to interact with an individual who has made a significant impact on the physical therapy profession. In addition, several scholarship awards are given at this event in memory and recognition of well-known local physical therapists.
