Palmer College of Chiropractic is excited to introduce the new Alumni Awards Program, designed to acknowledge and celebrate the remarkable achievements and contributions of our alumni community.
Our legacy of excellence is at the core of Palmer, and through this program, we aim to honor individuals who embody and amplify this legacy. From innovative leadership to dedicated service, from pioneering research to transformative entrepreneurship, Palmer alumni are driving change and embracing our vision of a world enriched by health and human potential.
Barbara Melbourne, Vice Chancellor for Advancement at Palmer, emphasizes the significance of this initiative: “This awards program is an investment in our alumni and Palmer’s enduring success. By recognizing alumni achievements, inspiring current students, fostering a culture of excellence, and promoting lifelong learning, the Palmer Alumni Awards Program plays a pivotal role in nurturing a vibrant and connected alumni community.”
This fall, we will present five prestigious awards, including the coveted Fellowship, to individuals who exemplify leadership and service, not just in the chiropractic profession but also within Palmer College itself.
The Palmer Alumni Awards Program features the following categories:
- Distinguished Achievement Award: Recognizing significant contributions to chiropractic with professional, societal, and educational impact.
- Distinguished Service Award: Honoring alumni who have shown exceptional dedication and service to Palmer College over time.
- Entrepreneurship Award: Celebrating alumni who have achieved success as entrepreneurs in chiropractic or related fields, locally or globally.
- Palmer 10-Under-10 Award: Highlighting ten recent graduates who have made substantial contributions, demonstrated leadership, and are active mentors or volunteers.
The Palmer community is invited to participate actively by submitting nominations for themselves or others. Let’s together celebrate excellence, foster connections, and build a resilient, impactful alumni community that continues to uplift Palmer College and the world.
