During the Feb. 23 Davenport Campus commencement ceremonies in Lyceum Hall, 154 Doctors of Chiropractic, 12 Bachelor of Science, two Associate of Science in Chiropractic Technology, and two Master of Science in Clinical Science degrees were conferred.

And I dare you to be the best chiropractor you can be.”
