Dr. Victor H. Bray Victor Hugo Bray, MSc, PhD, FNAP, joined Salus as dean of the University’s Osborne College of Audiology (OCA) and associate professor in 2009, which paved the way for his most recent accomplishment — a 2020 Presidential Medal of Honor. Described by his Alma Mater University of Texas at Austin as an “audiology innovator and educator,” Dr. Bray’s leadership as dean of Salus OCA through 2016 helped solidify the University’s Doctor of Audiology (AuD) program, delivering the vision of George Osborne, PhD, DDS, founding dean of the College. Dr. Bray also helped launch the University’s second-generation online AuD Bridge Program, with a focus on international students, including the new Hands On Workshops (HOW) that have been hosted on campus and internationally. Along with the establishment of three online graduate certificate specialization programs for working audiologists — worldwide — which are very unique in the profession’s educational offerings, Dr. Bray was also instrumental in laying the foundation for the online Master of Clinical Science degree in AuD, focusing on international students.
