Parker Seminar gives Palmer opportunity to shine
|
Palmer’s Alumni and Development offices once
again teamed up to attend the Parker Seminar in
Las Vegas, hosting a reception at the LVH-Las
Vegas Hotel (formerly known as the Las Vegas
Hilton). Representatives from each Palmer campus
mingled with the 200 guests Friday evening.
Along with Executive Director for Alumni Mickey
Burt, D.C., Lisa Walden (Davenport Campus), Lois
Kundel (Davenport Campus), Tom Milus, D.C. (West
Campus), and Florida Campus President Peter
Martin, D.C., recently retired Davenport Campus
faculty member Gilbert Schmiedel, D.C., was
present to connect with graduates from across
the country.
“This was a fantastic event,” said Ms.
Walden. She also noted that events like this are
a great opportunity for College representatives
to have one-on-one conversations with alumni and
build relationships.
“It was also wonderful to observe the
kindness and enthusiasm expressed to Dr.
Schmiedel,” said Ms. Walden. “A grandfather,
father and son were there who had each been
taught by Dr. Schmiedel. And nearly everyone who
approached him began reciting information he’d
taught about the cranial nerves. He has produced
a great legacy.”
Dr. Milus spoke to a number of alumni who
told him “how happy they were to be
chiropractors, and that they were glad they went
to Palmer.”
Alumni and Development also held breakfast
meetings for Presidents Club members, which were
attended by alumni who were enthusiastic about
Palmer. The goals of these meetings were to
encourage members to bring new members on board,
as well as to educate the alumni on the
importance recruiting new students to the
College.
But the event wasn’t only for alumni;
prospective students also attended and
approached the Palmer booth in the expo area to
ask questions and pick up materials about the
College. Even a parent who was a Canadian
Memorial Chiropractic College graduate was
interested to sending his sons to Palmer.
“We had the pleasure of having Dr. Terry
Schroeder (West ’86), coach of the Olympic Water
Polo team, with us,” said Dr. Burt. “He was
pleased to be able to say a few words and asked
if it was okay to tell everyone that ‘Palmer was
the best chiropractic college in the world,’ and
I said, ‘By all means, please do!’”
To find out when and where Alumni and
Development representatives will be next, e-mail
alumni@palmer.edu or call (800) 722-2586.
