ello again, everyone. I wanted to bring you up to date on what has been happening at our College since our last visit. Dr. Cleveland and I have continued to hit the road visiting with our alumni. I was in Tulsa, Okla., on April 12, where the College hosted a luncheon at the Unified Chiropractic Association of Oklahoma’s spring seminar. I had a great time catching up with several of our alums. I was in Wichita, Kan., on April 27, hosting a social hour for our alums attending the KCA’s spring event and enjoyed seeing many friends there!

Dr. Cleveland was also in Tulsa on April 20, where he spoke to the Oklahoma Chiropractic Association, and he was in Phoenix April 27, hosting a lunch for local alums. We would love to host a lunch at your event — just let us know when and where.

April 19 was a special day for 38 of our students as we joined them in their Commencement ceremony.

They now begin their exciting journey into our great profession.

Who do you know that would be a great chiropractor? We would love to educate and train as many great future chiropractors as you can send us! Contact Admissions for additional information.

In other news, the College was busy April 1-4 as we hosted a team from the Council of Chiropractic Education (CCE) for a scheduled site visit as part of the reaccreditation process. There was a lot of hard work in preparation for the visit, and I am sure the effort will result in a positive outcome.

Another new development is the College’s move to electronic health records for the 2014 transition. We are currently in the development phase with a “go live” date projected for Fall 2013.

Be sure to save the following dates for two special events. On Oct. 11-13, the College will hold its annual Homecoming event.

Once again, we will be partnering with the KCA. We are planning a very special weekend. Another exciting event is set for Feb. 28-March 2, 2014, when the Alumni Association will sponsor 12 hours of continuing education in Las Vegas! This will be a funfilled weekend with the opportunity for alumni from both the LA and KC campuses to enjoy Vegas, while receiving CEU credits.

Please remember to let us know what is going on in your lives and practices, so we can share it with all of our colleagues. Until next time, be safe and be well! q
