Our greatest asset: ‘Cleveland’s people’ Most of you know that I travel between the two Cleveland campuses each

week and over the past several months I have been carrying rolled-up architectural plans under my arm as I rush through the airport. Frequently, a fellow traveler will take the time to ask me what I am building, and my response is always

the same: “The future of chiropractic.”In recent months, the Cleveland administrative team has

joined me in walking the current and future campuses. The remodeling at the Los Angeles campus and planning for the move in Kansas City has required our team to measure every square inch, from storage space to the food service area, consid-ering all options for the best placement, arrangement or remodel of classrooms, laboratories, clinic facilities, offices and all of the other myriad areas needed.

And, as I walk through the various areas of each campus, I am reminded of the many people who have also walked these

halls throughout the years. Those people who have left an indelible mark on the Col-lege and the profession as a whole.

As proud as I am of the new and enhanced facilities at both CCCKC and CCCLA, my walks have reminded me that Cleveland Chiropractic College is far more than brick and mortar. From the very beginning, in 1922, when my grandparents started educating chiropractors, it has been the people that were important. And if the build-ings burned today, it could be rebuilt with the team of Clevelanders who contribute their creativity, their dedication and their passion to our beloved profession.

These people are the faculty members and clinicians who share their years of experience and wisdom with our students and the staff members who support our students as they work through the program, people that join in the celebration of those students and their milestones and accomplishments.

And this also goes for the many graduates of Cleveland over the years. These hard-working and dedicated doctors of chiropractic have welcomed students into their practices, sharing their experience and encouragement.

Also serving tirelessly are the loyal and devoted members of the college boards: the board of trustees, the alumni boards, the foundation directors. Although the names and faces change, this group of professionals has directed the progress of both Cleve-land colleges through the past eight decades.

The bottom line is simply this: The strength and longevity of these colleges lie squarely in the hands of the people who work here, study here and support the edu-cational experience we offer in so many important ways, and they are our greatest asset. These are the “People of Cleveland” or “Clevelanders” as they are called, and the College would not be the same without them.

Carl S. Cleveland III ’75, D.C.President


memorylane

Receiving the last issue of the alumni magazine has brought back a lot of mem-ories. I see where some of the people with whom I graduated, such as Tim Meng, Daniel Fahnestock and Jim Anderson, are still involved with the College after all these years. I’ve also read names like Mary Jane Newcomb and Elizabeth Cleveland, names I have not heard for many years. Since graduating, I have lost a number of great friends from Cleveland, people like Tony Garcia, Marvin Berdect, Bradley Malone and, of course, my dear friend, Ray Boring. Having been privileged to meet Dr. Carl S. Cleveland Sr., and hav-ing been taught by Dr. Carl S. Cleveland Jr., are some of the highlights of my life. Dr. Carl S. Cleveland III and I have never quite seen eye-to-eye, but I would really like him to know that I believe he has done one fantastic job with Cleveland College. I hope that all the graduates of Cleveland this year and beyond have a great life like the one that the College has given to me. Good luck to all!

— Dr. Gene Metcalf ’66

I recently learned that Dr. Ray Ratliff died. Dr. Ratliff was one of the most intelligent persons I have ever met. He listened far more than he ever spoke. I remember going into his office ranting about some injustice I perceived. He would sit back in his chair and, with a slight grin, just listen and listen as I ranted and raved. Afterward, he would say, “Yes, you could do that, or you

could wait a few days and see how you feel about it then.” What a wise man. He was all about building the reputation and career of his colleagues; it was never about him. Dr. Ratliff rarely mentioned his personal life unless you asked a ques-tion about one of his children and then his eyes would twinkle and he’d tell something about one or more of them. His pride in his daughter and two sons was obvious. He established some firm habits in his life. Every day, and generally at about the same time, he would go to the College library and read from jour-nals or texts for at least an hour. Then, it was off to a nearby hospital lunchroom for lunch. After lunch, he came to the main office reception area and sat in a particular chair, one that faced the hall-way, for 10 or 15 minutes visiting with anyone who came into the area or just looking down the hall. For many years after he retired, if someone sat in that chair, they would hear the words, “What are you doing in Dr. Ratliff ’s chair?” All of us whose lives he touched will fondly remember him and his wise counsel. He taught profound lessons by using very few, well-appointed words. Actu-ally, when thinking about it, nobody can really fill Dr. Ratliff ’s chair.

— Dr. Ruth Sandefur ’67

Take a look back

1970sIn 1976, after 46 years at its 37th and Troost campus, CCCKC moves to the former Nazarene church building at 6401 Rockhill Rd. The College later acquires three additional buildings nearby at 601, 701 and 751 E. 63rd St.

On May 24, 1978, Dr. David D. Palmer, the grandson of the founder of chiropractic, passes away at the age of 72.

1980sCleveland’s Alumni News magazine gets national press in the Ragan Report, a weekly communications newsletter. The April 1986 issue called attention to the Alumni News’ unique accor-dion-like booklet that listed donors.

The Association for the History of Chiropractic holds its first annu-al conference at the Smithsonian in Washington, D.C., in June 1981.

1990sIn late 1992, CCCLA’s Dr. Clive Hannon ’82 is Southern California’s top-ranked dirt bike racer in the senior division of the American Trials Association. He competed in several races aired on ESPN that year.

In 1990, Dr. Carl S. Cleveland III is named one of eight trustees to serve on the profession’s Chiropractic Cen-tennial Foundation.

Future is now at CCCKCFall is such a busy time of the year for everyone. It’s back-to-school, sports

events and preparations for the holidays. Amidst all of this activity, many Cleveland graduates took time to return to the College for Reunion & Relicensure (R&R) weekend Oct. 5-8, 2006. Those who attended heard many wonderful speak-

ers and had ample time to get caught up with classmates, friends and administrators. There was lots of Kansas City barbecue consumed and many stories shared among friends.

It truly was a “homecoming” event in every sense of the word, as all of this year’s activities were held right on campus. But, in the weeks following R&R weekend, it became obvious that this year’s homecoming at the Rockhill site would be the next to last. It was recently announced that the College has secured a stunning, new facility that will accommodate growth for the next 50 years. It is

truly an exciting time for the College and the profession as a whole.As we look to what lies ahead, it reminds me of from where we came. I was taken

back to my school days during the R&R festivities when I saw the bronze busts of Dr. Carl Jr. and Dr. Millie on display in the main administrative office at the College. For those who have not seen them, take a moment the next time you are on campus. A masterful job was done by the two artists as the busts provide a nearly picture-perfect replication of both.

As the College looks to a bright future, these creations remind us of our storied past. It is a past filled with pride and tradition that will guide us at our new location as we embark upon the next half century at Cleveland Chiropractic College.

Kansas City

A fond farewell for RockhillExcitement is building as we bid farewell to CCCKC’s Rockhill campus and

embrace our fantastic new location on 34 acres in the Kansas City suburb of Overland Park, Kan. This marks the beginning of an exciting journey that is destined to be filled with school spirit and tradition.

Plan to join us in celebrating this “Smart Move” during Home-coming 2007 festivities Oct. 5-7. You can join in the celebration of 30 years of history at the Rockhill site, share your Cleveland memo-ries and reconnect with some of your favorite faculty members and classmates. You may want to bring something special, sentimental or fun to place in the time capsule that will be opened in 25 years.

From attending traditional continuing educational seminars to enjoying exciting social events to learning about our extraordinary new campus, Homecoming 2007 promises activities for the entire

family. And, yes, everyone will be invited to tour the new campus.Defining Moments. By themselves, memories pass quickly. But when that mem-

ory is shared, it becomes a story. It is these stories that connect us and speak to us in ways that are deeply memorable. The College will be publishing a “Memories of the Rockhill Campus” book. And we would like the stories of your memories. For example, remember the ball team named the “Nads” because they wanted to be cheered on with “Go Nads!”

Everyone is invited to participate, so simply drop us a note with your fun and favorite memories and pictures or visit cleveland.edu and click on Memory Lane. Memory Books will be distributed throughout Homecoming 2007 weekend.

Pay forward for a lifetimeFirst of all, on behalf of the Alumni Association board of directors, a big thanks

to all who joined us for “Coming Home 2006” last October. It was our big-gest celebration yet, and we are pleased that our attendance keeps growing each year. We enjoyed seeing many of you again, as well as others who attended for the first

time. All of you had the opportunity to personally tour the newly refurbished Health Center, to which the Alumni Association con-tributed financially through your membership dues.

Speaking of membership in the Alumni Association, we are hoping that you take advantage of our Lifetime Membership pro-gram, which over a dozen of you joined during “Coming Home” weekend. Did you know that a one-time payment of $500 covers your dues forever?

Of course, the big question is: “What do I get as a Lifetime Member?” Some of the outstanding benefits are complimentary registration to all “Coming Home” relicensure seminars, an invitation to “Lifetime Member” events and recognition on the “Lifetime Member” plaque displayed in the Health Center.

Additionally, your money goes toward funding the John K. Raithel Student Schol-arship ($1,000) presented annually; the Clinic Excellence Award ($500) presented at each commencement ceremony; and to assisting CCCLA alumni in need, supporting student chapters of CCA, ACA and ICA, and much more.

The Alumni Association needs your support to continue its mission of providing service to the College and the chiropractic community. Join us as we build our asso-ciation and continue to make chiropractic a strong and unified profession.

— Dr. Claire O’Neill ’95, president, CCCLA Alumni Association

Changes abound at CCCLAThe one thing that is constant in this world is change — and CCCLA is no

different in that regard. Many of you have not been on the campus since you graduated, whether that be last year or 20 years ago. If you’ve returned to visit recently, you may not recognize the place. In the past year, several changes have taken

place on the campus, and the reaction has been uniformly positive.Not only has the outside of the building received new paint,

but the inside has as well. The rotunda (lobby) features a wall-sized mural to greet guests, and the reception area is now filled with chairs for visitors and patients. The cafeteria has a whole new look, featur-ing a retro design with bright colors and new furniture. The Media Resource Center has been redone, and the classrooms feature up-to-date technology, as well as wireless Internet capability.

Among the more impressive changes are the ones made to the Health Center. The Alumni Association made a significant financial contribution to the improvements, specifically the treatment rooms, which now have new paint and framed posters donated from a variety of chiropractic suppliers. The Alumni Associa-tion was able to assist the College with the renovation of the Health Center via the funds received from you, including Lifetime Membership dues and other support.

It’s all about giving back, whether it’s time spent mentoring current and prospec-tive students, participating in on-campus adjusting workshops, becoming a Lifetime Member and/or sending financial contributions to the Alumni Association. All of your help is needed, and those who are past and present donors have made invaluable contributions to the future of chiropractic and its new practitioners.

Dr. Delta “Doc” Gier, who taught at CCCKC for seven years,

passed away Dec. 19, 2006. He served an integral role in initiating Cleveland’s preprofessional health

sciences program and was a popular provider of continuing

education classes for chiropractors for many years.

College to miss Dr. GierThe College lost a great friend

when Delta Gier, Ph.D., passed away Dec. 19, 2006, after bat-tling a form of Parkinson’s and breast cancer. He is survived by his wife, Audra, a son and two grandchildren.

Gier taught at CCCKC and was active in preprofessional health educa-tion in the 1980s and ’90s. He and Audra created the Health Sciences Program, a precursor to the College’s current preprofessional program. First offered through Park College (Mo.) and then Donnelly College (Kan.), the program educated 4,000 students who went on to become chiropractic, medical and osteopathic physicians.

“Dr. Delta Gier was a true friend of the College and a champion of chi-

ropractic,” Dr. Carl S. Cleveland III said. “His innovation and contribu-tion to chiropractic through his health sciences programs will never be forgot-ten. We will truly miss him.”

He taught primarily at Park Col-lege, where he served as chair of the chemistry department and dean of students. Park has a lab and a faculty scholarship named after him.

Gier graduated from Hepler (Kan.) High School at age 15 and attended Kansas State College in Pittsburg, earning a bachelor’s and master’s in chemistry. He earned a doctorate in chemistry at the University of Kansas.

His obituary is online at www.lega-cy.com/KansasCity/DeathNotices.asp. Audra’s e-mail is [email protected].

’90s


Surfer. Inventor. Chiro-practor. These are just

a few labels that can be put on Dr. Tim Brown, a 1984 CCCLA graduate. Known as the “Beach Doc” to many, Brown is a lifelong athlete who still tries to surf every day. He has made a name for himself as a sports chiro-practor, building a successful practice in Newport Beach, Calif., and treating profes-sional athletes such as Kobe Bryant and Lennox Lewis.

An entrepreneurial spirit gave way to inventing while Brown was working as direc-tor of sports medicine for the Association of Volleyball Pro-fessionals (AVP) Tour in the early 1990s. At that time, he developed a taping technique called “Specific Proprio-ceptive Response Taping,” or SPRT, which stimulates cutaneous nerve receptors and ultimately allows the mechanical adaptation of the body to take place.

“My focus is to ensure the patient or wearer is doing the work instead of the brace or mechanism doing it for

them,” Brown said. “The con-ventional way, in many cases, causes a dependence on the brace or support instead of actively retraining the body to conform to its proper posture and alignment.”

His latest sports performance inven-tions have made quite an impact. In 2005, Brown sold the rights to his spine and scap-ula stabilizer (S3) to Alignmed Inc. And, he recent-ly signed a letter of intent with a major sports com-pany to produce his new line of “smart clothing,” which includes a posture shirt simi-lar to Under Armour.

Currently, Brown is work-ing on 20 design projects that he hopes to complete by 2009. He has scaled back his prac-tice time at Newport Spine & Sport to work on these projects and treat individual athletes. He can be reached at [email protected] or at (949) 646-8830.

Clevelanders mourn loss of Dr. RatliffDr. Ray Ratliff, director of research

at CCCKC from 1986 to 1994, died Sept. 24, 2006. A renowned schol-ar, Ratliff held a B.S. degree from Sam-

ford University, a master’s from Bir-mingham South-ern and a Ph.D. from the Univer-sity of Alabama.

Ratliff made an instant impact at the College, bring-ing with him a great deal of expe-rience in labora-tory and clinical science. He joined the administration at a vital time in the College’s transi-tion in chiropractic

philosophy from a predominantly tradi-tional approach to a balanced approach valuing scientific evidence.

“Those of us he mentored were very familiar with his constant reminder that ‘It didn’t happen if you didn’t publish it,’” Dr. Ruth Sandefur ’67, the College’s vice president of academic services, said. “He particularly liked a statement he heard at a chiropractic research meeting, and quoted it so often, we had a large banner printed that hung in his office for years. It read: ‘Where’s the data, where’s the damn data?’”

During his tenure at Cleveland, Ratliff made many positive changes. He is credited with starting the Research Fellowship Program and helped count-less Cleveland students become devoted scholars. Also, student involvement in research was at an all-time high.

Ratliff is survived by sons, Ray Jr. and Hal; daughter, Leslie; granddaugh-ter, Kristin; brother, Harold; and sisters, Helen, Carolyn and Beth. Memorial contributions can be made to CCCKC’s “Friends of Research” fund.

Cleveland Chiropractic College, one of the oldest non-profit chiropractic col-leges in America, is now the newest – on a stunning 34-acre campus in Overland Park, Kan.

Cleveland, the Col-lege’s third president and grandson of the founder, announced in February that CCCKC will move its educational programs to two structures on 34 acres at 108th and Lowell Avenue, adjacent to the intersection of Antioch Road and Interstate 435. The structures total 176,000 square feet that will be used for classrooms, labo-ratories, a library, cafeteria, offices and

other facilities including planned fitness and day-care centers.

“Part of this $29-million acquisition and expansion plan includes a $10-

million retrofit to construct a state-of-the-science chiropractic health center and educational facility,” Cleveland said.

“With the expansive acreage, this site will accommodate the College’s needs through the next 50 years.”

The first phase of a capital cam-paign, which is being managed by Creative Leadership Solutions, is underway to offset partial expense of the acquisition.

At the same time CCCKC constructs its new clinical facil-ity on the Overland Park campus, the Col-lege will maintain its

strong and sustained presence on the Missouri side of the state line. The Col-lege will continue to operate its current

Moving to this highly visible locationimmediately elevates the College and the

Smart move for future growth

coverstory

by Alan Morgan

It was January of 2007, and President Carl S. Cleveland III was flexing his memory muscles. As he does at most every new-student orientation, Cleveland, after only a brief introduction and to the amazement of those gathered in the Rockhill campus auditorium, began reciting back to the students their last names,

one after another, with nary a mistake. “Tullis. Allen. Riedel. Keen. Engle. Yancy. Potter.” On and on he went, having committed to memory more than 50 names in all. So, it is in this context that the following exchange becomes even more amazing. When asked how many potential sites he had toured in his search for Cleveland Chiropractic College’s new Kansas City campus, Cleveland remarked, “I’ve been to so many properties that I’ve actually lost count.” Not a problem. The time for counting potential sites has come and gone.

coverstoryHealth Center in the Brookside area, as well the Cleveland Wellness Center, an interdisciplinary teaching clinic at Truman Medical Center in nearby Lee’s Summit, Mo. The College will also con-tinue its residency affiliation with the Kansas City Veterans Administration Hospital.

Dr. Charles Eddy ’70, chairman of the College’s board of trustees and a for-mer member of the Kansas City Coun-cil, said the vitality of the south Kansas City community will be a top priority in assessing offers for the College’s current campus facilities.

“The move to the new site in Over-land Park is a tremendous one for the College,” Eddy said. “While the current campus properties could not accom-modate the College’s growth, they have been well-maintained and are strategi-cally located near Rockhurst University, the University of Missouri-Kansas City, Brookside, Waldo and Research Medical Center, and they are just a short distance from Bruce R. Watkins Drive.”

Remodeling has started at the new campus, and the College will relocate in December 2007 and start classes in January 2008. The College is seeking proposals to establish tenant relation-ships for a fitness center and a day-care center in one of the buildings.

The Overland Park site, just 25 min-utes from the College’s current location, is in a community nationally known for its commitment to higher educa-tion, boasting the second-highest popu-lation of college-degreed residents in the nation. Five other college campuses call Kansas City’s suburban Overland Park home. And it was recently rated one of the nation’s top 10 most livable cities by Money Magazine.

“Students are incredibly excited about the opportunities at the new facility,” Melissa Denton, CCCKC director of

admissions, said. “Overland Park is an attractive, vibrant and safe community with affordable housing, award-winning schools, great restaurants and plenty of recreational opportunities – everything a student could want.”

Richard Day (VII), who will continue his education at the new facility, agrees.

“I am thrilled that the College is moving to Overland Park,” Day said, noting that many students already live there. “It’s a great facility, and prospec-tive students will be impressed by not only the campus, but the surrounding area as well.”

Reaction from the campus communi-ty has been overwhelmingly positive. Dr. Clark Beckley, a 1975 CCCKC gradu-ate and director of campus and profes-sional relations, sees the site’s potential as unlimited.

“Moving to this highly visible loca-tion immediately elevates the College and the chiropractic profession as well,” Beckley said. “This move allows for continued growth and flexibility, as well as the exploration of new educational programs. More space is required to educate the men and women who will help meet the growing national demand for chiropractic care.”

v v vBefore looking to the College’s bright

future, it’s worth taking some time to review its humble beginnings.

The original campus, located at 436 Prospect Avenue (photo) just south of the Missouri River, was a converted residence that doubled as a College facil-ity and home for Dr. Carl S. Cleveland Sr., Dr. Ruth R. Cleveland and young

son Carl S. Cleveland Jr. The kitchens were converted to chemistry and human dissection laboratories, with the lower living area serving as the patient clinic. The turret windows at the front of the house allowed the occupants to observe any caller at the front door. This precaution was deemed essential because many early chiropractors were arrested for the unlicensed practice of medicine prior to the 1927 passage of Missouri’s chiropractic law.

Central Chiropractic College was founded in 1922, enrolling three students in its first class and graduating its first doctor of chiropractic in 1924. The College was incorporated December 1922 as a non-profit, “benevolent association,” which gives it the distinction of being the oldest surviving and continuously operating non-profit chiropractic college. The Articles of Incorporation were amended in 1924 to change the name of the institution to Cleveland Chiro-practic College.

Cleveland Sr., the first president, was a pioneer in the field of chiropractic and chiropractic education. He served as a vocal activist and provided expert testimony, forming the basis for the passage of the Chiropractic Practice Act that legally defined the profession as a separate and distinct heal-ing art in the state of Missouri.

As the need to expand the College grew, a new site was established in 1929 at 37th and Troost. During the College’s 50-year tenure at that location, several nearby buildings were purchased and renovated to comprise a multi-building campus. By the early 1970s the need for additional quarters was evident, and the board of trustees approved the purchase of property at 6401 Rockhill Road, the present location of the Kansas City campus. Again addressing the need for addi-tional space in the 1990s, the College acquired a two-build-ing medical office complex, a former office building and a 200-car parking garage near the main campus.

The initial plan, dating to the early 1980s, was to expand on the vacant ground to the south of the Rockhill building and to purchase additional commercial properties on 63rd Street. However, when comparing the cost of acquisition, demolition, ground clearance and new construction to that of acquiring a site for relocation, the choice became clear.

“The Rockhill site has served us well, but being land-locked and unable to acquire contiguous space, it simply was a business decision to purchase an existing site that would include land for long-term expansion,” Cleveland said. “The opportunity to retrofit a site to be Cleveland College’s Kansas City campus for the next 50 years was very attractive.”

Prior to the acquisition of the Overland Park site, the College explored “numerous Kansas City area properties with local economic development agencies to help identify an accessible, large and expandable location,” according to Cleveland.

“Starting in the 1980s, any KC-area site in a reasonable location, with at least 120,000 square feet and enough park-ing, was fair game,” he said.

Other sites that were considered during the College’s property search included the former TWA Breech Academy, the Farmland property near the Kansas City International

Clevelander 14

The College’s new Kansas City campus is comprised of two build-ings on 34 acres. The main building at 10850 Lowell Ave. will house administrative and departmental offices, classrooms, labs, the library and health center. Above, the building at 8205 W. 108th Terr. will include the College’s fitness center and day-care center.

One of Kansas City’s most highly visible suburbs welcomes College

The historic advice, “Go West, young man,” reshaped the United States, and it could also rede-fine the future of Cleveland Chiropractic College. The College will relocate to a bustling suburb west of Kansas City. The move will allow for the expo-nential growth that will change the College, and ultimately the very profession it champions, for at least the next 50 years.

Overland Park, Kan., is an educational hub that includes Johnson County Community College, as well as branches of Baker University, Ottawa Uni-versity, University of Kansas and St. Mary’s Col-lege. According to chamber of commerce statistics, Overland Park is home to more than 164,000 peo-ple, 48 percent of whom hold bachelor’s degrees and 16 percent of whom have earned a graduate or professional degree.

The amenities are many and the worries are few in this toney suburb. The city is on the same progressive growth plan as CCCKC, so the new location was a natural. In addition, this thriving community was recently rated one of the nation’s top 10 most livable cities by Money Magazine.


coverstoryAirport and the Sanofi-Aventis complex in south Kansas City. In addition, con-sideration was given to Sprint properties in both northern and southern Johnson County, Kan., and a variety of sites located in midtown Kansas City.

v v vSo after such a painstakingly detailed

and arduous process, what is it that makes the current site the right one?

“We viewed the success of our Los Angeles campus facility and it’s clear that a key element in that success has been its centralized location and direct interstate access,” Cleveland said.

Positioned at the intersection of the Hollywood Freeway and Vermont Ave., and in the center of the Los Angeles metroplex, the CCCLA campus is acces-sible to 11 million people within a one-hour drive. It’s also located between two of the metro’s subway stations.

“I frequently receive calls in my LA office from realtors representing buyers for the CCCLA cam-pus,” Cleveland said. “If you look at the largest cities in the world – Tokyo, Los Angeles, London, New York, Paris – the most desirable and valued real estate is centrally-located with major access via rapid transit and automobiles.”

Which brings us back to the new Overland Park campus. While the Kansas City metro area has a population of just 2 million, ranking 36th nationally, it’s the 13th largest in land mass, encompassing 319 square miles. So it’s all about location, location, location. The Overland Park campus is directly acces-sible to I-435, just three minutes from the exit. The site also met or exceeded the College’s minimum and preferred criteria for moving. (See the “Moving Criteria” chart on this page.)

But finding the right location and actually purchasing it are two entirely different processes. On August 21, 2006, the College was notified that the Farm-ers Insurance Company site was formally listed for sale. College personnel toured the site on August 24, and that evening the board of trustee’s Executive Com-mittee approved an offer to purchase the property, which was delivered to Farmer’s representatives the next day.

“We first toured the property on a Thursday and made the offer to purchase the next day,” Cleveland said. “It was evi-dent, after 15 minutes into the initial tour, this property was naturally right. It was priced fairly and exceeded all required criteria. There was no question in my mind this was the 50-year facility we had searched for more than 20 years.”

After almost a month of extensive negotiations, Farmers

and the College entered into a letter of intent to purchase the property, with parties signing the agreement – as fate would have it – on Sept. 18, 2006, the 111th birthday of the chiro-practic profession. Not 30 days after reaching the agreement to purchase the first building, the 47,000 square foot office property located next door was listed for sale. The College moved swiftly to acquire the second facility.

The Overland Park campus, previously owned by Farmers, is an iconic Kansas City-area property. Perched high atop a grassy terrace long known for its exceptional winter sledding,

the main building overlooks Interstate 435 and the surround-ing area in the heart of Overland Park’s bustling suburban corporate community. This new campus will become the cornerstone of the College’s continued success in chiroprac-tic education, research and patient care. And it will provide a powerful new base for serving Cleveland students and the Kansas City metropolitan community.


A large, tree-covered patio on the west side of the College’s new main building, with access to the cafeteria, offers a tranquil gathering place for eating, studying and social-izing. The patio provides a bird’s-eye view of the campus grounds and is in close proxim-ity to the entrance of the other campus building housing the fitness center and day-care center. With rearrangeable and removable seating options, the patio can be configured to accommodate a variety of events and other activities.

“I am proud, excited and somewhat relieved that Cleveland College is now able to spread its collective wings,” Cleveland said. “I have sought out, planned and visualized this facility in my mind for more than 20 years now. Never once did I doubt the College would find a suitable facility.

“Each dead end and retracted offer was a learning experi-ence,” he continued. “Certain properties under negotiation would clearly have met the academic needs of the College. But none provided the opportunities offered by the new campus.”

v v vThe move across the state line from Missouri to Kansas

was not without hurdles, but none proved too difficult to

overcome. First, the Kansas Senate unanimously passed Sub-stitute Bill 82, which essentially removed any barriers for the College’s relocation to Kansas and its operation of a teaching clinic by exempting the College’s Health Center from the “corporate practice of medicine doctrine.” The Kansas House of Representatives soon followed suit, passing its own version of the bill. Mark Stafford, legal counsel for the Kansas Board of Healing Arts, was key in crafting this legislation. The Kan-sas Chiropractic Association (KCA) offered key support and assistance facilitating this legislative achievement.

So, with the endorsement of Cleveland graduate Dr. Gail Boyer, the new KCA president, the Col-lege is ready to open for business in the Sunflower state.

“I’m very excited about the move,” Boyer said. “Our members in Kansas are fully behind the College’s decision to come to Johnson County. We look forward to the many opportunities we will have to work directly with Cleveland Chiropractic College and its students.”

v v vSo what happens between now and the

first day students flock to the new campus for orientation on Jan. 7, 2008?

The demolition required before remodeling is complete, according to John Sopinski, the College’s vice president of finance and administration. Sopinski, who was integral in the negotiations and

financing of the new site, is in charge of the construction build-out as well.

“There’s a lot of work to be done, but it’s a beautiful facil-ity and I’m confident it’s the right place for the College and its students,” he said. “It will allow us to grow and expand well into the future.”

All College departments have toured the facility and are working with GLPM Architects, the company in charge of the remodeling, to provide input on their respective areas at the new campus. The goal is to construct a state-of-the-sci-ence educational facility that provides the latest technological advances in a serene campus environment.

“I’m really looking forward to going to the new cam-pus,” current student Rhett Bruner said. “There’s so much green space – it really has the feel of a college campus. And Overland Park is a great area, with so much to do.”

Across the board, faculty and admin-istrators share the excitement.

“The opportunities for learning are limitless,” said Dr. Paul Barlett, CCCKC academic dean. “The facility itself, the technology that will be available, the learning environment – all first-rate. What more could you ask for?”

Alumni and friends of the College will have opportunities to see the new campus and the remodeling progress in the fall before the campus opens. In October the College will hold its final Homecoming event on the Rockhill campus. “Home-coming 2007: A Smart Move,” will celebrate the College’s 30-year history on the Rockhill campus, while looking forward to the move. Homecoming 2007 will be held October 5-7, alternately on the current campus and at the Overland Park Marriott. Tours of the new campus will be available.

The Homecoming weekend actually kicks off on Thursday, Oct. 4, with the Cleveland College Foundation Golf Tourna-

Members of the College’s faculty and staff walk through the new building as part of one of the scheduled site tours during the demolition and retrofitting process, which began in April. The project involved interior gutting of the structure’s three floors to prepare for the construction of offices, classrooms and labs, as well as the library and health center.

There’s a lot of work to be done, but it’s abeautiful facility and I’m confident it’s the right

place for the College and its students. It will allowus to grow and expand well into the future.”

CCCKC is involved in other service projects inside and outside the Venice Family Clinic. In addition to those provided by interns, CCCKC staff members provide a variety of services in the VFC community to enhance the quality.

Other service projects include intern participa-tion at the Los Angeles Mission, where they pro-vide care for the low-income residents, and at the University of Southern California’s University Park Health Center. And CCCKC staff members recently organized and participated in a “neigh-borhood clean-up” that improved.

In another project, CCCKC faculty and interns traveled to the California Mission Inn in Rose-mead, Calif. There they gave presentations on spinal care, proper posture and the prevention of low-back pain and misery can be avoided some-times.

ment. This year the tournament will be held at Deer Creek Golf Club, just minutes from the new campus. (To learn more about Homecoming or the golf tournament, or for registra-tion information, see page 19.)

The College is planning for the actual physical move to take place over the trimester break in December. As previ-ously stated, the Health Center in Brookside will remain open for an undetermined period of time.

v v vThe current remodeling of the new campus is known

as “Phase I.” The preliminary plan for expansion calls for “Phase II,” which includes the construction of a state-of-the-art theatre and auditorium, as well as several new classrooms to provide the necessary space to accommodate additional degree programs.

But for now, the primary focus is on preparing the new campus for classes to begin in January — which, as it hap-pens, will also provide a new opportunity for Cleveland to exercise his retentive powers. He will recite the names of the new students during orientation, but this time, for the first time, he’ll do it on the Overland Park campus. And, very soon, all Clevelanders – students, faculty, staff, administra-tors and alums — will begin to share one lasting and vivid memory: this was one smart move.

Complementing the new campus in Kansas City are the major improvements being made on the College’s Los Angeles campus. The cafeteria received a facelift as part of a multi-stage renovation project, which also included enhancements to the media resource center and rotunda, as well as exterior paint and landscaping work.

Goal to ‘give back’ key for Dr. Morris

Here I offer another challenge, a challenge

similar to the one made to me by Dr. Robert

“Bob” Morris back in 1981. And that is you

will get, or have gotten, a lot out of chiropractic.

Remember to give something back. If each

of us does, our profession will progress much faster.”

Dr. Craig Morris ’81CCCLA professor

“

by Scott Albright

Dr. Craig Morris ’81, center, proudly displays the textbook he

authored. With him are (l-r) Dr. Carl S. Cleveland III and Dr. Gary Globe.

An intense passion for chiropractic compels Dr. Craig Morris ’81

to work tirelessly for the advancement of the profession, as a private practitio-

ner and a CCCLA professor. But that’s just the tip of the iceberg. Morris is also a published editor and contrib-utor for a new text-book, chairman of the Manual Medi-cine & Manipula-tion Committee of the American Back Society (ABS) and founding president of the Slovak Chi-ropractic Associa-tion (SCA), which he started with his wife, Jana, a native of Czechoslovakia.

There is much more that Morris is involved in or has accomplished. A multi-page list, in fact, but the publish-ing of his recent textbook is what he is most excited about sharing. “Low Back Syndromes: Integrated Clinical Manage-ment” was released in 2006 by McGraw-Hill. The book serves to keep spine-care specialists of all disciplines abreast of cur-rent standards of practice and approaches to assessment and treatment.

“It is the only truly interdisciplinary text of its kind,” Morris said. “I started working on the book in 1999 with my mentor, the late Professor Vladimir Janda of the world-renowned Prague School of Manual Medicine, as my advisor. I real-ized the spine world has become increas-ingly fragmented. I have always been interested in keeping updated on all the available approaches and being able to co-manage appropriate cases. My book was designed with this in mind, and it covers it all from pain management to manipulative techniques and from reha-bilitative issues to radiology standards.”

Morris utilizes the assessment and treatment standards he outlines in his textbook on a daily basis, either at his F.I.R.S.T. Health Clinic in Torrance, Calif., or at CCCLA, where he serves as a member of the Clinical Sciences Department. His teaching position is relatively new and is something he finds both extremely fulfilling and, at times, a bit frustrating.

“Teaching is about communication, inspiration and about instilling a respect for the wisdom of our predecessors, while integrating current research, technologies and discipline,” Morris said. “It is very rewarding to share concepts and skills with those who are excited about what they learn. One frustrating part of teach-ing, I’ve found, is that emerging technol-ogies have led students to overly utilize academic resources from the Internet and focus too much on course material depicted in PowerPoint presentations. I would like to challenge students and instructors to dig deeper into the invalu-able wisdom and knowledge that can only come from textbooks.”

With teaching, Morris believes he is giving back to the profession that has done so much for him over the past 25 years. The idea of “giving back” is a per-vasive one for Morris.

“Chiropractic has been so great to me, and has not only given me a wonderfully fulfilling profession, but has also allowed Jana and me to comfortably raise our four children and to travel all over the world,” he said. “Here I offer another challenge, a challenge similar to the one made to me by Dr. Robert “Bob” Morris (’76) back in 1981. And that is you will get, or have gotten, a lot out of chiro-practic. Remember to give something back. If each of us does, our profession will progress much faster.”

Away from the College, Morris enjoys traveling, following ice hockey and treating professional hockey players. He can be reached at [email protected] or at (310) 530-4460.

Dr. Smith provides multifaceted careIn a perfect world, there would

never be a mid-life crisis with a career change, because we would all be content in our jobs. The lucky ones are those who have known their calling since

childhood and have spent years focused on their goal. Oth-ers, like Dr. Tyrone Smith ’02, are part of the vast major-ity who keep mov-ing forward until a career seemingly taps them on the shoulder. Or, in Smith’s case, tapped his lower back.

Smith was work-ing as a courier, finishing his bach-elor’s degree and

doing some substitute teaching when he received his calling. After five years, his courier job had begun to cause dis-comfort in his lower back, resulting in an extreme case of sciatica. His persistent pain led him to seek treatment from a chiropractor. The visit gave him immedi-ate relief and opened his eyes to the pos-sibility of a new direction in life.

“I was looking for a different career after leaving my courier position,” Smith said. “On subsequent visits for adjustments, I questioned my doctor about the profession and what it took to become a doctor of chiropractic.”

His chiropractor was Dr. Joseph Kappes, a 1986 CCCKC graduate, who was very complimentary of the course-work and the education he received. Smith, a lifelong resident of the Kansas City area, was already aware of the Col-lege and began to seriously consider a career in chiropractic.

As luck would have it, one of his undergraduate science professors men-tioned an upcoming open house for prospective students at CCCKC. Smith went, and it turned out to be an obvious

match for him. “I attended the open house, talked to

students and toured the campus — the open house really sold me on CCCKC,” Smith said. “It was at that time that I decided to become a doctor of chiro-practic. I enrolled in the pre-professional program immediately to complete some prerequisite classes, and then I completed the D.C. program in three years.”

Smith has fond memories of his time at Cleveland. Beyond the classroom, he was involved in several service-oriented activities, where he gave his time to oth-ers. He advised incoming students as a member of Mentors Club, he was president of the Student American Black Chiropractic Association (SABCA) and he served as the SABCA representative on the Student Council.

Those activities, combined with his academic pursuits and the friend-ships developed, made Smith’s time at Cleveland a rewarding journey that he characterizes as “an exceptional educa-tion experience.” The time in the clinic and the classroom were productive, but Smith also mentioned the added value of seminars, on topics like practice manage-ment and insurance, that were extremely helpful. Beyond that, Smith cites his instructors at Cleveland as the ones who have made a lasting impression on him.

“The doctors who educated me at CCCKC have had the greatest impact on my career as a doctor of chiropractic; I relive their teachings with every patient,” Smith said. “My patients constantly praise me for the thoroughness of my exams and the quality of care I give. I simply explain to them that I practice as I was taught by my many mentors at CCCKC.”

His strong education, commitment to the craft and dedication to hard work have yielded a strong practice.

Smith Chiropractic Pain Center is a 1,500 square foot, state-of-the art chiro-practic clinic. It features on-site radiol-ogy, two adjusting bays, two physical therapy bays, a therapeutic massage bay,

to have the ability to immediately affect a

change in the patient’s health and well being.”

acupuncture bay and a patient education center. The clinic staff includes an office manager, receptionist, massage therapist, medical assistant/radiology tech, and a marketing and web site director. It is located at 2609 Cantrell Rd. in the Mill Walk Mall, in Harrisonville, Mo. 64701. His web site can be viewed at smithpain-center.com and you can contact him at via e-mail at [email protected] or by telephone at (816) 380-3860.

Smith and his team pursue a broad range of treatments, beyond just the dis-ease caused by the common subluxation. His office also offers cellular cleansing. This natural health care procedure helps to expel toxins and heavy metals from the human body through osmosis. It is done by placing the feet in warm water, then introducing a small electrical charge that acts like a magnet to facilitate the elimi-nation of the harmful elements.

This, combined with other treat-ments, leaves Smith with a great sense of satisfaction because he is able to offer chiropractic solutions where other medi-cal professionals have failed. It validates his education and his standing in the medical community when he can exact almost instantaneous relief.

“It brings joy to my soul when I finish adjusting a patient and they rise and say ‘Doc, I feel better already,’” Smith said. “It is absolutely wonderful to have the ability to immediately affect a change in the patient’s health and well being.”

Research seems to indicate that just as man’s condition can benefit from chiro-practic treatment, so too can the condi-tion of animals. In order to fill a void in animal treatment, Smith began offering equine chiropractic services in 2006. Calling the new endeavor a “wonderful experience,” Smith has been able to edu-cate horse owners about the similarities between adjusting the spine of a human and that of a horse.

“The lines of drive are different due to the plane line of the joints, and adjusting the equine’s cervical spine and extremi-ties are unique,” Smith said. “However, the technique I use is Full Spine Specific with a meric arch. People are so elated when you improve the function of their equine companion.”

Whether man or beast, chiropractic treatment differs only slightly between

the two, with the ultimate goal being wellness. Smith’s focus is to restore the patient’s health as quickly as possible and then sustain their level of wellness, whether the patient stands on two legs or four.

For the human patient, he can supple-ment that treatment with other natural health care solu-tions at his office. However, for all he can do with his knowledge and his hands, it is futile without the right frame of mind. That’s an intan-gible Smith said he believes is crucial to good health.

“I am an ex-tremely positive-minded doctor of chiropractic and I require a posi-tive attitude from all of my patients when it comes to maintaining their health,” he said. “Negative talk or attitude will heal no one. I simply do not tolerate it.”

Smith is able to minimize the stress of a visit to the doctor’s office by eliminating any concerns or mis-conceptions held by those seeking his care. He alleviates their anxiety by first clarifying how he can help and then making it a reality.

“My philosophy on patient care starts with patient education,” Smith said. “The patient needs to understand chiropractic and how it can help them before being adjusted. Edu-cated patients complete their schedule of care and become lifetime chiropractic patients.”

To better serve those patients, Smith participates in activities to help revitalize his own personal energy. This involves spending quality time away from his practice doing what he loves — play-ing golf, cooking and horseback riding. Each of these activities allow Smith the opportunity to relax and unwind, which complements his own personal wellness. And, as a result, he is able to maintain the passion he has for his profession.

Dr. Tyrone Smith ’02 has a broad practice that includes a wide range of services. One of those services is cellular cleansing, which Linda

Martinez, marketing director for Smith Chiropractic Pain Center, demonstrates in the top photo.

he added in 2006.

Alumni, students and friends of the College all joined together Sept. 8

for the annual Foundation Golf Classic. The tournament was held once again at Kan-sas City’s Shoal Creek Golf Course.

Prior to the event, there was time for the participants to socialize before hitting the links. Those feeling confident

about their short game had the opportu-nity to battle it out in a putting contest.

Participants in the putting contest were vying for the grand prize of two round-trip tickets on Southwest Airlines.

After several rounds, CCCKC student Branden Rech (IX) came out on top. Rech had special plans for the tickets. He gave them to his mother for her 50th birthday so she and his aunt could visit their brother in Seattle.

Following the day of golf, a buffet dinner and live auction were held. Dr. Chuck Eddy, chairman of the board of trustees, hosted the evening event.

Proceeds raised will establish the Dr. Dorothea A. Towne Memorial Scholar-ship. Towne, a 1954 CCCLA graduate, was a long-time administrator and facul-ty member and a well-known chiroprac-tic educator. The first Towne scholarship will be awarded in July 2008.

College holds reunion eventIn an effort to bridge

its rich past to a bright future, CCCKC hosted “Reunion & Reli-censure” weekend Oct. 5-8. The four-day event saw 156 registered students in attendance, along with 140 doctors of chiroprac-tic. A variety of chiroprac-tic-related seminars were offered to help broaden the knowledge base of those in attendance.

The keynote speaker, Dr. David Singer, shared how he grew his practice into one of the largest in the country during the 1980s. Other speakers were Drs. Paul Barlett, Cheryl Hawk, Daniel Redwood, Tom Hyde, Manuel Duarte, Sandra Norton and Michael Ramcharan. The sessions ranged from Evidence-Based Practice to adjusting techniques.

There was an evening barbecue Thurs-day and a picnic lunch Friday. On Satur-day, a luncheon was held by the CCCKC Alumni Association. During the event, Dr. Robert Curtis ’95 was named “Alum of the Year.”

Other events included a student tal-ent show Thursday night. Nine acts

entertained the audience with music, magic and comedy routines. The $250 first prize was won by Justin Jesperson (V) and Jon Maline (VII); the $150 sec-ond prize went to Cesia Estebane (VI) and Matthew Kola (I) won the $100 third prize.

Overall, participating in R&R week-end provided practitioners a renewal of the chiropractic discipline’s value. And, for those CCCKC students in atten-dance, it offered a valuable first look at the alumni family of which they will eventually be a part.

New facesThe College has welcomed several new additions to the Kansas City campus, including Dale Marrant, who was named CCCKC’s director of human resources. Marrant will be responsible for recruiting, hiring and training new and existing employees, supervising payroll, coordinating benefits and enforcing employee policies.

Jalonna Bowie was promoted to director of student services from her post as retention coordinator. The move came after the departure of Stacy Moore, who moved out of state.

Other new faces include Andrea Pedersen, associate registrar; David Foose, director of academic enhancement; Linda Nilssen, associate director of financial aid; Katie Miller, admissions advisor; Jennifer Bedard, research coordinator; Marvin Greer, lead facility attendant; Dr. Joe Keating, historian for the profession; Dr. Kevin Mott, instructor; Marla Cope, controller; and Dr. Jeff Miller, health center director.

The holiday spirit was alive during early December as the CCCKC

Staff Council sponsored the City Union Mission’s “Presence of Love” program. The gift drive, held Dec. 1-13, saw Clevelanders join forces to collect gifts valued at more than $500. Led by Aleta Anthony-Uribe, staff council president, the group challenged the campus com-munity to remember those less fortu-nate by making a difference during the holiday season. She was pleased with the outpouring of generosity.

“It was wonderful to see the campus come together to help other families have a merry Christmas by providing gifts for under their trees,” Anthony-Uribe said.

People who wished to donate were asked to purchase moderately priced gifts for those in need. Bins were placed at select locations around campus to collect donated items for both children and adults. The gifts were then gathered, sorted and transported to the mission for the “Presence of Love” store. The

store was opened during the holidays so income-qualified families could select Christmas gifts for family members.

Karri Martin, an admissions advisor at CCCKC, said she was was proud to have been a part of the effort.

“It was a great way to pass along the holiday spirit,” Martin said.

A sampling of the gifts collected included toys, games, dolls, stuffed ani-mals, bath and body products and a variety of other gifts. More practical products were also purchased which included slippers, socks, shaving kits and blankets. When all items were collected a delegation from the College delivered the presents to the City Union Mission.

New recruits visit campus

CCCKC students traveled to Chiro Games ’06 in Dallas. The co-

ed softball team placed second, beating defending champion Parker College before falling to Southern California University of Health Sciences in the finals.

CCCKC participated in four events. Athletes were Caleb White (IX), Betha-ny Herrington (XII), Kirk Turpin (VII), Nick Neneman (VI), Teri Minarick (VIII), Arley Polley (VI), Nathan Campbell (VI), Tim Baylard (IX), Chris Ullom (VII), T.J.

Generating interest in chiroprac-tic among high school students

is the primary goal of CCCKC’s inno-vative new program called “CSI-Kan-sas City.” “CSI” stands for “Chiropractic Student In-Training” and allows visiting students to tour the College on a fact-finding mission to ask questions about the pro-fession. The program helps the potential recruits gain a better understanding of chi-ropractic.

The program was initiated by Dennis Giacomino, vice president of enrollment man-agement. It is coordinated by Aleta Anthony-Uribe, assis-tant director of admissions.

“We try to target high school juniors and seniors who show an interest in human biology and health care fields,” Anthony-Uribe said. “It’s fulfilling to see young students participating first-hand and making their own positive discov-eries about chiropractic as a career and Cleveland Chiropractic College.”

A total of 32 students attended the fall CSI events held Oct. 13 and 16. Last spring, 16 students attended the inaugural CSI event. The College will welcome the next group of CSI stu-dents this spring.

Aleta Anthony-Uribe, CCCKC’s assistant director of admissions,

speaks to potential students during one of the College’s Chiropractic Student in Training (CSI) events.

Since its inception last spring, nearly 50 high school students

have visited campus to learn about chiropractic and the College as

part of the program.

It’s fulfilling to see young students

participating first-hand and making their own

positive discoveries about chiropractic as a

career and Cleveland Chiropractic College.”

Answering a call to unite for a com-mon cause, thousands of West

Coast walkers turned out for the 22nd annual “AIDS Walk Los Angeles,” Oct. 15. CCCLA was well represented, as 32 people from the College participated.

Students, faculty, staff and friends of the College all donned specially designed T-shirts and visors provided by Dr. Mat-thew Givrad, senior vice president of institutional outreach. The shirts were emblazoned with “Chiropractic Supports AIDS Research.”

“The College is an important part of the Los Angeles community and chiro-practic is very much a part of the cul-ture of health care in this area,” Givrad,

who chairs CCCLA’s Community Ser-vice Coordinating Committee, said. “The walk brought the Cleveland fam-ily together to support research on this epidemic.”

CCCLA had hoped for 20 walkers and $500 raised. The results far exceeded both counts, as the CCCLA group raised $2,630 in donations to benefit AIDS research.

The Cleveland contingent did its part to help make one of the nation’s largest AIDS Walk events a success. In so doing, every person who walked that day took a step toward helping to find a cure. The Los Angeles walk raised a record total of $3,768,295.

CCCLA alumni come homeA record crowd of

100 took part in CCCLA’s “Coming Home” weekend, held on campus Oct. 7-8. The annual event, sponsored by the Alumni Associa-tion, featured presenta-tions by Drs. Janice Hughes, David Gendreau and Alumni Association President Claire O’Neill.

“The event drew the highest number of attend-ees in at least 15 years,” Michael Brown, executive director of alumni rela-tions, said. “The pro-gram was so well received that five doctors became Alumni Association Life-time Members on the spot.”

The event, held outside to accommo-date the overflow crowd, also included an awards luncheon. Dr. Keith Henry ’96, chair of clinical sciences, received the “Alum of the Year” award for his support of the Alumni Association. Erica Martin (VI) received the John K. Raithel III Scholarship, which is valued at $1,000.

Henry said he was very proud to have been named “Alum of the Year” and to be back at CCCLA as a faculty member.

“Coming back to Cleveland to teach and lead the health center to the next level has been the most enjoyable, fulfill-ing part of my chiropractic career. I am proud of the excellent group of clinicians who guide and mentor the next genera-tion of chiropractors.”

Attendees were also treated to tours of the campus, which is in the midst of a multi-million dollar remodeling project. Visitors toured the revitalized Health Center, rotunda and cafeteria.

New facesThe College continues to grow as CCCLA has added several new faces. This includes two departments that have hired three people. The new additions to the health center include Dr. Feliz Lee, Dr. Ted Papenhagen ’06 and Dr. Andrew Park.

Two vacancies were filled in the Office of Admissions. The new employees joining the Admissions team are Erica Flener and Kate McDougall.

One other new hire was Albert Patterson. He joined the Buildings & Grounds staff.

CCCLA’s Student Council execu-tive cabinet is making a mone-

tary impact on the future of chiropractic by initiating a program that awarded two students with scholarships. The $250 awards went to Natalie King (XI) and Thai Bui (XII), who will use the money to assist them with the cost of their chi-ropractic education.

Tammy Cassa (VII), CCCLA’s Stu-dent Council president, was pleased to be a part of initiating the scholarship program. Although the student council plays a vital role in several of the Col-lege’s events and activities, she said there are few that leave a legacy.

“We wanted one project that, in the end, would benefit students not only financially, but also garner excitement within the student body and leave our name on a project that will hopefully be carried on by future Student Council executive cabinets,” Cassa said.

The awards were open to all stu-dents regardless of grade point average.

Applicants were asked to complete an essay titled: “What Being a Doctor of Chiropractic Means to Me.” Cassa said the exercise was intended to keep the scholarship applicants focused on their ultimate goal.

“The essay was meant to remind the participants why they chose to become a doctor of chiropractic in the first place,” Cassa said.

Students were also asked to respond to prospective students, who might be thinking: “I Don’t Know Which Chiro-practic School to Attend.” This portion was an opportunity for the applicants to reflect about the College and what it means to them.

‘Founders’ event held

Clevelanders who were already learning to heal the body were

also doing their best to help the mind and the spirit of those in need in the holiday season. By initiating a “Secret Santa” holiday toy drive, students at CCCLA worked to promote the spirit of giving among the College family.

Michael Brown, executive director of student and alumni relations, said the program is an example of the benevolent nature of the faculty, staff and students representing the best of the holidays.

“Once again, the CCCLA community has shown its generosity by providing those less fortunate with a reason to smile this holiday season,” Brown said.

Donations were collected for several weeks. They were then distributed to Padres Contra el Cancer (Parents Against Cancer) and Toys for the Troops Kids.

Clevelanders took time out to give the gift of life, as the Col-

lege again hosted Children’s Hospital Los Angeles (CHLA) for its annual holiday blood drive. Amidst the hustle and bustle of classes and the approaching holiday season, 40 donors took time out to give blood.

Michael Brown, executive director of student & alumni relations, said the blood drive was successful. The result was a double-digit increase com-pared to the hospital’s previ-ous blood drive on campus.

“Our holiday blood drive drew a 14 percent increase in donations from earlier this year, which shows how dedicated the Los Angeles campus is to provide service to the community,” Brown said.

Those who donated blood received a CHLA T-shirt and were eligible for a prize drawing. Winners were Arlet Aga-zaryan (VI), who took home $100, and Jonathan Goins (V), who won a Chiro Games 2006 T-shirt.

CHLA has been providing care to children for more than 100 years. It has grown from humble beginnings to become one of the world’s top pediatric and adolescent health care facilities.

Adana Moses (IV), left, and Brandey Dollens (VI) of CCCLA’s

Pediatrics Club held a special bake sale in conjunction with the

College’s holiday blood drive to benefit Children’s Hospital Los Angeles. Overall, Clevelanders

donated 40 pints of blood.

We wanted a project that, in the end, would

benefit students not only financially, but

also garner excitement within the student body

and leave our name on a project that will hopefully

be carried on.”Tammy Cassa (VII)

Fast FactsWith 61 graduates, CCCKC’s Class of Summer 2006 was tied with Summer 2000 as the second-largest since the College’s inception in 1922. The Summer 1983 class, which had 79 graduates, is the largest so far in CCCKC’s 85-year history.


As they move on to forge bright futures in chiropractic, many of the College’s graduates leave behind a legacy of leadership in major campus clubs. CCCKC’s former campus leaders were Justin Biggs, Sports Council president; Michael Claassen, Activator Club president; Jason Drake, Blair Club vice president; Amanda Dunn, Blair Club president; Shane Huber, Sports Council president; Nathan Lester, Student American Chiropractic Association

(SACA) treasurer; Ali Lyons, Animal Chiropractic Club president; Nyoka Lytle, Student American Black Chiropractic Association (SABCA) president; Shirin Moshiri, Mentors Club president; Laila Owens, SABCA vice

president; Dallis Rogers, SACA treasurer; Jilian Santini, On Purpose president; and Melanie Smith, Pediatrics Club president. Haroutioun Jabourian, a CCCLA transfer, served that campus as Armenian Club president.

Carl S. Cleveland Jr. Memorial Library CCCLA Alumni Library Privileges

The Carl S. Cleveland Memorial Library web site at cleveland.edu/academic/acad_lalibrary.htm is a gateway to the databases of chiropractic and biomedical literature, the online catalog, new acquisitions and information about the

library. The online catalog consists of the library’s books, videos, DVDs and CD-ROMs.

Cleveland Chiropractic College alumni may use the library and the Media Resource Center as educational resources. The library provides access to full-text journals, databases, media resources, current awareness alerts and essential

library services such as inter-library loan. The Media Resource Center was recently renovated and the area contains space for quiet or group study with individual carrels in bright, sunny rooms facing the Hollywood Hills and the San Gabriel Mountains. The Center maintains a wide variety of instructional aids and equipment. Alumni can search sev-

eral of the library’s databases from their home computer.

Opportunities to improve search skills through web-based tutorials are available for MANTIS and Pub Med. Frequent searchers of the Index to Chiropractic Literature, CINAHL, Pub Med and National Center for Biotechnology Infor-

mation may wish to register for Loansome Doc Service in order to automate requests for document delivery.

Resource sharing is an effective way for the library to meet the information needs of our patrons in today’s increasingly technical world. Sharing via the inter-library loan service (DOCLINE) is available to the College through

the Pacific Southwest Network, which includes having access to health sciences libraries in Arizona, California, Hawaii, Nevada and medical libraries locally, regionally and nationally. If what you need is not available in our

library, we will find it for you. The library is a member of the Chiropractic Library Consortium, Medical Library Association and Medical Library Group of Southern California and Arizona. Resource sharing among libraries has been a reality for some time, and participation in the cooperative efforts has been beneficial for our library users.

Support and stay connected to the Carl S. Cleveland Jr. Memorial Library. Let the library be your link to research and resources. For more information, send me an e-mail at [email protected] or call (323) 906-2133.
