Take Your Place in the Palmer History Books Forever
The walls of Palmer College carry the richest and longest history in the chiropractic profession. As alumni of Palmer College, you are an important piece of that history. The story of every Palmer graduate is woven within the fabric of the last 125 years of Palmer, and now it’s your time to share that story.
- What are your fondest memories of your time at Palmer?

Your story is up to you. We’re excited to partner with Publishing Concepts Inc.

Stories will be compiled in a hardcover memory book that will be made available for purchase following the completion of the project. No purchase is required for alumni to participate.

This project allows us to hear about your personal experiences from your time at Palmer College of Chiropractic and how the school helped shape your life since then. And, while we have you on the phone, we want to make sure your contact information is up to date.
