Drs. Skip and Julie Wyss |
Skip Wyss, D.C. (Davenport ‘08), is
Palmer Proud. As a student, he was a
Campus Guide, and he started attending
prospective student dinner events off
campus with Admissions Representative
Ellen Bassler when he was in 5th
trimester. He attended his first Palmer
Homecoming when he was 18 years
old and even started recruiting for the
College before he became a student.
When he met his future wife, Julie
(Davenport ’08), in undergraduate
school, she had been set on attending
another college. He told her Palmer
was the only place to go to become a
chiropractor. After he brought her with
him to see the campus, she discovered
on her own that it was “the best school
in the world” and decided on Palmer.
“I got involved with Admissions because
I loved talking to people about our
amazing profession and why Palmer is
heads above the rest,” says Dr. Wyss.
“I am still involved because I feel that
it is the greatest way to give back to
Palmer. The best thing an alumnus can
do for the school is to funnel students
back into the school. It has always
been known that strength in numbers
is the best way to get a point across;
and it just goes without saying that
if they attend the best college in the
world, it will strengthen the profession
even more.”
Dr. Wyss believes that Palmer “is the
brain/central nervous system for all
chiropractic schools and the profession.
Every other college is the PNS and
branches off of whatever Palmer does,”
he says. He encourages his fellow
alumni to stay connected and give
back to the College in the “greatest
way”—by recruiting students.
“Palmer is the best school out there,”
he says. “Take pride in the school you
graduated from and own it, love it, and
breathe it. I absolutely love this College
and am so proud to say that I received
my education from Palmer.”
