Giving at UWS

CHP Group – Proud Philanthropic Partner to UWS

$50,000 Gift for Scholarships and Diversity and Inclusion

Three additional Diversity in Health Care Scholarship awardees will be selected thanks to the CHP Group’s recent contribution. These scholarships will support students in the BIPOC community. Each doctor of chiropractic (DC) student recipient will receive $10,000.

This gift ensured that all members of the Student American Black Chiropractic Association (SABCA) could attend the annual American Black Chiropractic Association convention in 2021. It will also help facilitate learning opportunities for students and employees. In collaboration with student members of SABCA, the university is exploring a series of talks on DEI in health care to engage the collective university community in learning more about culturally competent and culturally relevant care. 

of human anatomy – full-sized, head-totoe anatomical models. SynDavers include synthetic bones, joints, muscles, organs and tendons as well as some nervous system and vascular components. The college of chiropractic is excited for this additional tool to enhance the student anatomy experience. The models are used extensively at major health universities across the country. “The college of chiropractic is very excited by the addition of the two new SynDaver models for our use,” said Dr. Kathleen Galligan, dean, college of chiropractic. “These models will allow the faculty to refresh the student’s knowledge of anatomy in the later stages of the program and to demonstrate anatomy in relation to case-based learning opportunities.”

Thank you to all our friends and alumni who contributed funds to make this new learning experience possible. You are making a positive impact on student learning! Learn more about SynDavers. 
