Read this kudo from a September 2006 Trimester One student about a pair of National graduates. “I choseNational because my two favorite chiropractors aregraduates of National. In my lifetime, I have seen sevenchiropractors... Of all these, chiropractors, the onesfrom National were the best... They conducted themost thorough exams, spent the most time with me(the patient), and had the best technique for adjustingmy spinal column. The experiences I had with thesetwo individuals were the most positive experiences Ihave ever had with a chiropractor.”

And another tribute from a Tri One student: “I havelooked into many schools in the field. I have alsoconsulted doctors working in this field forrecommendations as to which school I should attend.Surprisingly, all the doctors and patients that I talkedwith recommended me to do some research onNUHS. Also, all the chiropractors that I talked toactually graduated from National and had given me alot of good comments about NUHS, including: greatcurriculum, small classes, excellent professors that arehelpful and friendly.”

GivingWhat does it mean to youto give?

Is it to give back to the lessfortunate? Is it to give backto your community? Is it togive back to your church orsynagogue? Is it to giveback to your family? Is it to

give back to your profession?

I suppose we all have different reasons to give or notto give. I like the following quote from Sir WinstonChurchill (1874-1965), “We make a living bywhat we get; we make a life by what we give.”

Many of us have been given so much. Some of thesegifts have been the direct result of our education atNational. Why not consider giving back somethingto your alma mater? As I often hear from our localhigh school football coach on Saturday morningradio, “Get It Done!” To “get it done” you have totake some action. The following quote from Aristotle(384 BC-322 BC) talks about getting it done.“All human actions have one or more of the theseseven causes: chance, nature, compulsion, habit,reason, passion, and desire.”

So if by chance you have taken the time to readthis far; if it is within your nature to give back; ifyou feel a compulsion to give back; if it has becomea habit to give back; if you have a reason to giveback; if you have a passion to give back; or if youhave a desire to give back, then please considergiving back to the institution and family of whichyou are an important member. Family isn’t aboutwhose blood you have. It is whom you care about.

To paraphrase the Bible, choose you this day towhat you will give back, as far as me and myhouse, we will give back to those we care about.

That is why National has been and always will bean important part of our giving.

To Give — “to freely devote, set aside, or sacrificefor a purpose.”

As the end of National’s Centennial Year appears onthe horizon, we are taking the opportunity to extendour gratitude to all who have helped make thisspecial year an outstanding success. As you readthese pages, you will see how many alumni andfriends of National have “freely devoted, set aside orsacrificed for a purpose.”

I think there are two components of that definitionthat are especially important to the person whochooses to give to something or for something. Firstis the word “freely.” People who do not give freelyfind themselves in a circumstance of innerresentment after the gift is given and those gifts,while helping the recipient, do not “warm the heart”of the giver.

Gibran, the author of the little book titled TheProphet, says that “God speaks through the hands ofthose who give freely as the myrtle breathes itsfragrance into space, and from behind their eyes, Hesmiles upon the earth.”

Well, my friends, all who are listed in the followingpages are people through whose hands God speaksand from behind whose eyes, He smiles upon theearth. You are indeed special people.

The second part of the definition that is important,as I see it, is “for a purpose.” People give “for apurpose.” Yes, it is true that gifts given to Nationalare tax deductible, but that is not, I hope, the

primary purpose behind the giving. My purpose,and I expect yours, too, is that we share theawareness of the purpose of this wonderfulinstitution we know as National.

National is a century old, and as such has earned aposition of honor, trust and nobility. It hasexpressed its purpose, which for many years was theteaching of people who were to become chiropracticphysicians. After about the first 15 years of thispurpose, National expanded its purposes to includethe teaching of naturopathic physicians, doctors ofdrugless therapy, doctors of mechanotherapy,massage therapists, and nurses.

In later years, nearing the half-century mark, theprofessional and political pressures of the timecaused National to once again narrow its purposesto chiropractic education alone.

Now, since 2000, National has once again expandedits horizons and, upon becoming a university, hasre-instituted the teaching of massage therapy andnaturopathic medicine and has added acupunctureand oriental medicine. Throughout these years ofchange, National has always maintained a clearpurpose and a clear posture on how it wouldeducate — that is always mandating the highestquality and always promoting excellence. Its mottowould always remain the same “Esse quam videri,”which is “to be rather than to seem to be.”

Those of you who have given freely to National havealso, I believe, been aware of and supportive of thepurposes of National, and through you, God hasspoken to thousands and millions of sick andsuffering who sought the services of our graduates,and yes, through your eyes, God has smiled uponthose many people. If the work of National ishonorable, noble and trustworthy, then in double

measure, so is yours for providing the financialsupport that helps make National what it is.

Now there are some who have not chosen toparticipate in the opportunity to give and no doubtthere are some who have no choice for a variety ofreasons. Still, some just have not taken the time toconsider the circumstance or, for some reason, havedecided that National is not a cause or purpose thatshould be supported. I wonder about that, ofcourse. National gave every one of us who is agraduate our ability to serve humanity and throughthat process, to make a living. Yes, we paid ourtuition, but at least for the past 20 years duringwhich I have been president, tuition has onlycovered between 62 and 73% of the cost ofeducating our graduates. The difference has to comefrom someone or somewhere. One of the sources isthe multitude of people listed elsewhere in thispublication. Sadly, those people represent onlyabout 5% of our graduates.

As an alumnus, I feel rather hurt that only 5% of ourgraduates choose to give back to National, while38% of National’s employees give back. I amhoping that many of you will give this considerationand will choose to support the purposes of Nationalby giving freely through one of our givingmechanisms. These include giving clubs, outrightone-time gifts, gifts to scholarships, or the placementof National in one’s will.

My friend said it so well this morning. She said“giving warms the heart on a cold day.” She said itso well that it became the title of this piece. Shespeaks from experience as a member of thePresident's Cabinet Internationale, and along with38% of the employees of National, she gives freelyand for a purpose. Won't you join us? It will warmyour heart on the cold days to come.

Giving Back? Why Should I? Many Reasons! Many Ways!Dear Alumni:

Based upon what I have heard, I suspect that manyof you stop and think, “Why should I give to theNational University of Health Sciences?”

There are many reasons why we don’t give. One Ihear is, “I work harder and see more patients and have less income.” Another is, “Our fees havebeen lowered.” Yet another one is, “What has National done from me?” And lastly, “They have changed the name of our alma mater so it is not really a chiropractic college anymore.”

These are some of the excuses that I hear for notbeing able to help National University of HealthSciences. We need to change this way of thinkingand develop more positive attitudes and decidewhat we can do for National.

I think we should be thankful to National for gettingus where we are. Many of us lead comfortable lives,

thanks to the education that National provided, and itis important to remember that our tuition onlycovered approximately 70% of the total cost of oureducation.

Many times, when we have particular questions, welooked to National for specific answers. Many of ourBoards of Examiners have always looked to National,because National has the top expertise with regard tolegislative matters. When something arises inWashington, D.C. with respect to chiropractic andthey need a model, whom do they come to? Theycome to National! Many times, National has beenthe focus of helping others, whether they aregraduates, colleagues, legislators, or friends ofchiropractic.

National always takes the lead and will always be aleading educational institution. I am asking you tobe part of this leading team. Even small amountswill grow into large amounts, and allow theuniversity to continue to be the leader of the future.

There are several different ways that we can give toour university, with different denominations, sothat each and every one of you can be a part of this.As of this date, only 5% of the alumni give to theuniversity, yet almost 40% of the faculty andstaff make financial contributions to National.

Let’s change this around! Too often we dwell onthe negative; let’s look to the positive side and help to make sure National remains in the forefront. I am challenging each and every oneof you to look into your heart and make Nationala priority. Please contact Tracy McHugh, directorof the Office of Alumni Services and Development, at tmchugh@nuhs.edu so that she can help you develop a giving plan.

By Fraser Smith, NDDepartment Chair

A total of five students have started their studies thistrimester in NUHS' new Doctor of NaturopathicMedicine (ND) Degree Program, and more havealready applied for future trimesters as far ahead asSeptember 2007.

The program will lead to an ND credential and hassimilarities to its chiropractic counterpart. NUHSalumni would recognize many aspects of the NDprogram as similar to their own education. Part of thereason for this is that both professional practicesrequire grounding in the basic sciences, extensivetraining in diagnosis, and a broad range oftherapeutics.

Naturopathic medicine encompasses the use oftreatments such as nutrition, botanical medicine,homeopathy, physical medicine, and others. Invarying degrees, these are already a part of the DCprogram at NUHS. The length of the two programsis similar as well — 10 trimesters full time. Graduateswrite board exams, in this case, administered by theNorth American Board of Naturopathic Examiners(NABNE) via the Naturopathic Physicians LicensingExaminations (NPLEX).

In some areas, the two programs are distinct. Forsure, the DC program has much more extensivemanipulative therapy and radiology. The NDprogram has more botanical medicine andhomeopathy. The DC program spends more classtime on subjects such as rehabilitation. The NDprogram examines the management of chronic casesand how to purposefully integrate several therapies.

In the first several trimesters, the DC and NDstudents will share their basic sciences. As the NDstudents progress, they will, of course, spend more oftheir time doing specialty courses, but will still sharesome content with their DC peers, even through theeighth trimester. Aside from the staging of thesecourses, the naturopathic department and theuniversity will be very focused on the project ofachieving recognition with the Council onNaturopathic Medical Education (CNME). This is amulti-stage process that involves maturation of theprogram, feedback and improvement.

Currently, NUHS has been given the green light toconduct a self-study of the ND program; thisfollowed CNME's acceptance of NUHS' formalapplication in the summer of 2006. A self-studyfollowed by further evaluation is a necessary steptowards the goal of candidacy status. With candidacystatus, graduates can sit for those NPLEX boardexams and then practice. Just the goal of achievingCNME candidacy is a very involved process, butNUHS is coming into this with the resources of anestablished institution that has been turning out gooddoctors for a long time. You can’t overestimate theways in which this propels a new program forward.

Already, there have been serious inquiries frompracticing chiropractic physicians, including NUHSalumni about obtaining an ND. Those who do apply

will receive advanced standing for their work in basicscience, especially those who have attended a programlike that of NUHS, which has extensive education inthis area. Like all ND, DC, MD, or DO programs,this would be full or near full-time and on site (versuscorrespondence or web-based).

There are two things that will push this programforward. One is that as the first ND class moves along

As part of the massage therapy certificate program,massage interns enrolled in clinic are required toparticipate in outcall (off-campus) events. During thesummer and fall trimesters, NUHS internsvolunteered to perform massages on participatingathletes at two major events.

July 2006 saw Chicago hosting Gay Games VII. Despiterecord-breaking heat, NUHS massage students as well asalumni volunteered their time to perform 630 sportsmassages over the course of five days. NUHS was invitedto be the sole provider for massage therapy at the OakPark Village where the intern’s days were virtually non-stop upon arrival. Although the wait for massage wassometimes over an hour, many athletes made return visits to the NUHS tent throughout the week. One gold medalist told me that the massages he receivedduring the week from his therapist were what enabledhim to continue to compete.

Jerrilyn Cambron, DC,enrolled at the time in her third trimester of the NUHS Massage Therapycertificate program, performedmassage at the Gay Games as part of her clinicalinternship. “The Gay Gamesallowed us the opportunity to interact with a variety of people and to practice oursports massage techniques. All the students were wellprepared because of theexcellent educational experiencewith our sports massageinstructor, Joe Adkins.”

Joe Adkins, who has been teaching sports massage atNUHS since 2005, not only provided essentialtraining for these students, he assisted me withsupervising at the event as well as performingmassages during the busiest times of day.

and gets into more advanced clinical courses, therewill be a point where DC alumni of NUHS wouldfind the curriculum adds to their knowledge. Thesenew courses will unfold in the next couple of years asthe first group finishes up with their basic sciencetime. The second reason is that achieving candidacystatus with CNME, something we would like toachieve within the next couple years, will increaseenrollment overall.

My special thanks to all NUHS massage facultymembers who volunteered their time to assist withsupervising interns: Joe Adkins, Marcia Brandes,Barb Malik and Candy Washington. More kudos stillto our alumni who volunteered their time to work aspart of the NUHS massage team: Beverly Basit, KristenCompton, Earnest Mounce, Susan O’Connor-Chadwick,Krista Soli, Delilah Stewart, Charl Woolsey and LindaZagroba.

Unlike the July Gay Games, October 2006 saw coldand wind and rain for the Chicago Marathon. Thisyear, seven massage therapy interns volunteered aSunday morning to travel downtown to perform 83post-event sports massages. This is the sixth time inseven years that NUHS interns have performedmassage at the Chicago Areas Runners Associationtent. Part-time faculty Sandy Pearce supervised theinterns who were in demand virtually non-stop from11 a.m. to 3 p.m.
