Davenport Campus Student Leadership

Student Council

This elected group represents the student body voice in school policies, activities and events. Representatives are from each class, the Associate of Science in Chiropractic Technology degree program and the Graduate program, along with an executive committee (elected annually) of a president, first and second vice presidents, secretary and treasurer.

Students are also represented in decision-making bodies like the Collegial Ethics Board, Collegial Appeals Board, search committees and others. Also under the umbrella of Student Council are The Beacon student newspaper and the Curriculum and Clinic Committees. Headed by the second vice president, the Curriculum Committee deals with changes in the courses taught at Palmer, as well as strengthening teacher-student relationships. Chaired by the first vice president, the Clinic Committee acts as a link to the Clinic administration. It addresses concerns of the student interns and helps maximize the students' clinical experience. Student Council sponsors trimester blood drives, the Thanksgiving Food Drive, courtyard parties, events during Homecoming, National Board reviews and more.
