Greetings from the President
in a historical event at the Boston Marathon. Together with some key help from intern Liza Marszalek, they helped scores of runners achieve their Boston Marathon dreams safely. So exciting to see our group of students jump out of their comfort zone and discover that what they learned in the classroom translates to situations and areas we knew they’ d excel in. The group became an integral part of the overall medical support team, and they got the job done.
This issue of the AlumnNews celebrates legacy past, present, and future. Dr. James Cox,’ 63, has had an everlasting effect on this institution, chiropractic medicine, and healthcare in general. He certainly typifieds the university’ s motto“ Esse Quam Videri” with his focus on research for better patient outcomes. He was engaged with the university and served as a North Star for so many future physicians entering the profession. Evidence of his influence can be seen through the continued work of Kurt Olding, DC,’ 84, and George Joachim, DC,’ 96. I have no doubt their work will continue to carry forward Dr. Cox’ s legacy. I invite you to read about their history with Dr. Cox in our tribute.
That is where legacy happens. Out there getting it done is where our Alumni are. Out there getting it done is where our faculty and staff are. Out there getting it done is where our students are. So, when people ask,“ Where is National?,” you need only look to where things are getting done. Look at the leaders of today, get ready for the leaders of tomorrow. Like Dr. Cox, National University continues to attract a unique kind of student— one who graduates to become an exceptional health care provider.
So,“ Where is National?,” I ask you to turn the pages, see where we are, and celebrate our legacy.
Esse Quam Videri
