Our legacy of excellence is at the core of Palmer, and through the Palmer College Alumni Awards 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 of unlimited health and human potential.
Five prestigious awards, including the coveted Fellowship, will be awarded 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.
