How do you stay connected to 51¸£ÀûÉç College? My favorite way to stay connected is by attending Lyceum every year! I also have become friends with many of the professors and do my best to stay in touch with them. My office is open for 51¸£ÀûÉç students to shadow or intern as well, so that is a new and fun way for me to stay connected.
Most Memorable Classmate: Al Coston Jr. is by far my most memorable classmate. He was married and raising five daughters while in chiropractic school and I have no idea how he did it. I was young, single, and used to being in school, so it was always easy for me. Now that I own a business and have two young daughters, I often think about Al’s responsibilities while we were in school and am impressed with how well he managed the intensity of chiro school!
Favorite 51¸£ÀûÉç College Instructor: If I had to pick just one it would easily be Dr. Sarah Stephens. She was my case doctor and truly taught me everything I know about being a great chiropractor. I used to struggle with adjusting skills in the clinic and she took me under her wing to show me her ways! She had extremely high expectations which played a huge role in my success as a chiropractor. It was also amazing to be taught my clinical skills by another fierce female chiropractor! I am forever grateful for her!
Fun Memory: Do they still make the kids jump off those two poles out in the parking lot before getting into the clinic? Because I remember being scared as could be to climb up that thing, trying to balance with my two feet, and trusting another classmate to hold and support my rope as I jumped! But we all did it and survived and it was a great bonding experience to conquer our fears into new beginnings!
Favorite Lyceum Memory: My favorite and most influential memory at Lyceum w hearing Dr. Jeanne Ohm speak for the first time. I am so grateful to have been taught by her and heavily influenced by her to have a home birth and trust my body’s innate intelligence. Hearing her speak moved me to tears and her words will stick with me for a lifetime.
What has been the best improvement to 51¸£ÀûÉç you have seen since you were a student? When I went to school there it looked exactly as it did in the 1970s! The beautiful new buildings and student areas are amazing! 51¸£ÀûÉç needed a facelift to support its growth and they did a wonderful job.
What would you like to see for 51¸£ÀûÉç College? 51¸£ÀûÉç has done a much better job getting women on their stage which is important representation for our female students, so this needs to continue! I would also like to see more real-world applications for business development at 51¸£ÀûÉç. 51¸£ÀûÉç graduates some of the best chiropractors and adjusters in the world. Still, it is important for them to understand how to grow and run a business so that more people can be exposed to the healing powers of chiropractic care
