Around 250 California-based chiropractors
and students gathered in Sacramento
on May 8 to participate in this year’s
California Chiropractic Association
Legislative Conference Day and lobby on
behalf of the profession. Nearly a quarter
of those attending were West Campus
students or alumni, marking the sixth
year in a row that a large West Campus
contingent ventured to the state capitol.
“I think one of the greatest things about
our participation is the spirit Palmer
College continues to have for this event,”
said West Campus Clinical Professor
William Updyke, D.C. “Most, if not all,
of the credit for that goes to Dr. Gary de
Wet. He always fills the bus and deals
with issues surrounding getting that
many students to Sacramento. It also
helps that the administration is supportive
of the event.”
Said Dr. de Wet, “Once again, our students nobly
served as ambassadors of both the College and the
profession. It fills our alumni with pride when they
see their alma mater’s participation in this event.”
