Inspiring Others Through Giving Back

Bruce C. Hagen, D.C. (Main, ´53) and Bethel Hagen, C.T. (Main, ´53) support the profession and hope to inspire others to keep Palmer College strong.

This December, Dr. Smith will turn 95 years old. And he will continue to give because he “wants to see the College progress and the students be successful.” His words of wisdom about alumni giving back? “If they can, they should. When you consider yourself successful, you should share that with others. When you recognize a need, you do what you can to help. That’s what a doctor does.”

“As an alumnus of Palmer, it’s important that we give back to help provide an environment that will attract the best students,” says Dr. Beane.

Throughout his 30 years in practice, Dr. Saro has graciously given back to the place he credits for much of his success. “I would not be where I am, the doctor I am, or the person I am today without Palmer College,” says Dr. Saro.
