Their gift embodies the goals of <a href=\"https:\/\/advance.ucf.edu\/go-for-launch\/\">Go For Launch<\/a> by supporting student success and helping UCF maximize excellence for generations to come.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>For UCF College of Medicine student <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ucf.edu\/news\/biomedical-sciences-directconnect-students-find-success-before-graduation\/\"><strong>Nicole Stevens \u201925<\/strong><\/a>, donor support helped turn possibility into reality. A mother of three and nontraditional student, Stevens shared how scholarships, mentorship and research opportunities empowered her to pursue medicine and redefine what she believed was possible for herself and her family.<\/p>\n<p>The clock tower stands at the center of UCF&#8217;s Health Sciences Campus and serves as an iconic symbol of the College of Medicine, welcoming students, faculty and visitors while reflecting the importance of time, innovation and excellence in training the next generation of physicians. All those entering the medical education building, where every UCF future physician is trained, will see the commitment that the Vyas\u2019 have made to the college, to the healthcare landscape of Florida and to the future generation of healthcare providers.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;One represents the daily work of learning, discovery and growth\u201d says President Alexander N. Cartwright. \u201cThe other serves as a bold and enduring presence on the horizon. Together, they reflect the lasting impact the Vyas family is making on UCF and the future of healthcare.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>After being forced to leave Uganda in 1972, the newly married couple rebuilt their lives in England before eventually settling in Central Florida, where Vyas established a successful family medicine practice. Their journey shaped a lifelong commitment to expanding opportunity for others, particularly future healthcare professionals.The Suree &amp; Zaby Vyas Foundation was created to invest in the next generation of caregivers by supporting students in UCF&#8217;s College of Medicine and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ucf.edu\/college\/nursing\/\">College of Nursing<\/a> and creating an endowment to provide perpetual scholarship support. Their name is also recognized inside the Dr. Phillips Nursing Pavilion, home of the College of Nursing with the Zaby &amp; Suree Vyas Collaboration Concourse.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This gift \u2014 which is recognized with a newly named tower and classroom honoring a legacy of service, opportunity and philanthropy \u2014 supports scholarships for future physicians.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":57,"featured_media":156574,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"lazy_load_responsive_images_disabled":false,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":"","_wp_rev_ctl_limit":""},"categories":[5,12],"tags":[979,22543,3703],"tu_author":[],"class_list":["post-156555","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-colleges","category-health","tag-college-of-medicine","tag-healthcare","tag-philanthropy"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v22.3 (Yoast SEO v28.6) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Zaby and Suree Vyas Investment Helps Shape the Next Generation of Healthcare Leaders | University of Central Florida News<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"This gift \u2014 which is recognized with a newly named tower and classroom honoring a legacy of service, opportunity and philanthropy \u2014 supports scholarships for future physicians.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ucf.edu\/news\/zaby-and-suree-vyas-investment-helps-shape-the-next-generation-of-healthcare-leaders\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Zaby and Suree Vyas Investment Helps Shape the Next Generation of Healthcare Leaders\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"This gift \u2014 which is recognized with a newly named tower and classroom honoring a legacy of service, opportunity and philanthropy \u2014 supports scholarships for future physicians.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.ucf.edu\/news\/zaby-and-suree-vyas-investment-helps-shape-the-next-generation-of-healthcare-leaders\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"University of Central Florida News | UCF Today\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/UCF\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2026-11-03T13:30:30+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2026-11-03T16:13:03+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/www.ucf.edu\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/20\/files\/2026\/11\/Suree-Zaby-Vyas-Clocktower_2026-.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"1200\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"800\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Nicole Dudenhoefer &#039;17\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:creator\" content=\"@UCF\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:site\" content=\"@UCF\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Nicole Dudenhoefer &#039;17\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"2 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\\\/\\\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.ucf.edu\\\/news\\\/zaby-and-suree-vyas-investment-helps-shape-the-next-generation-of-healthcare-leaders\\\/#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.ucf.edu\\\/news\\\/zaby-and-suree-vyas-investment-helps-shape-the-next-generation-of-healthcare-leaders\\\/\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"Nicole Dudenhoefer '17\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.ucf.edu\\\/news\\\/#\\\/schema\\\/person\\\/9d80c5f96623baaf4ec084540ceb2407\"},\"headline\":\"Zaby and Suree Vyas Investment Helps Shape the Next Generation of Healthcare Leaders\",\"datePublished\":\"2026-11-03T13:30:30+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2026-11-03T16:13:03+00:00\",\"mainEntityOfPage\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.ucf.edu\\\/news\\\/zaby-and-suree-vyas-investment-helps-shape-the-next-generation-of-healthcare-leaders\\\/\"},\"wordCount\":454,\"image\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.ucf.edu\\\/news\\\/zaby-and-suree-vyas-investment-helps-shape-the-next-generation-of-healthcare-leaders\\\/#primaryimage\"},\"thumbnailUrl\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.ucf.edu\\\/wp-content\\\/blogs.dir\\\/20\\\/files\\\/2026\\\/11\\\/Suree-Zaby-Vyas-Clocktower_2026-.jpg\",\"keywords\":[\"College of Medicine\",\"Healthcare\",\"Philanthropy\"],\"articleSection\":[\"Colleges &amp;
