Dear Alumni & Friends
O F L I F E U N I V E R S I T Y
I ’ m continuously reminded of how proud I am to be a part of Life University along with our students , faculty , staff , alumni
and friends that make up an extraordinary and diverse Life U community . The dedication and pure passion that our tribe demonstrates through representing our University , advancing vitalistic health care and , most importantly , caring for and serving their fellow man with love and compassion , is something at which I truly marvel . There ’ s no doubt that Life U ’ s trajectory is pointed upward , with momentum on our side to make an impact in the world now and for many years to come .
At Life U , we are committed to our mission of empowering our students , our vision of a world with vitalistic aspirations and our values that remind us of how and what we can serve , out of our own abundance . Ultimately , we aim to fulfill our promise , to produce leaders who exemplify humanistic values and , in a world where change is constant , provide innovative approaches to direct that change to elevate society and evolve its healthcare system .
So , how are we doing that ? Great question ! We are continuing to grow , not only in terms of enrollment , but also in influence through our groundbreaking research initiatives , our worldwide Compassionate Integrity Training program and our successful efforts to promote Chiropractic and vitalistic healthcare in our local , national and global communities . In this issue of Your Extraordinary LIFE ( YEL ), these areas are featured through interviews with those working as our boots on the ground in these vastly important departments making impacts far beyond the scope of what many in our community even realize .
And as always with YEL , we have so many interesting stories about the people that make Life U such a special place , from LIFEforce members and distinguished faculty , to student scholarship recipients and recent class valedictorians , you ’ ll be sure to see and learn more about the many faces that shape our Life U culture and help us reach new heights every day .
Just this past quarter ( Fall 2021 ), Life U ’ s Office of Academic Affairs launched LIFE Flex , giving our students three options to complete their classwork in a format that fits their lifestyles . Students may choose traditional classroom instruction , synchronous online learning or asynchronous instruction , giving them added flexibility over their education .
We were also excited to welcome more than 1,500 chiropractors to campus this year for our 2021 LIFE Vision Extravaganza / Fall CElebration from September 29 through October 3 . The event allowed chiropractors the opportunity to continue their education while spending time together on the beautiful Life U campus , reuniting with classmates and making new connections . While a lot of the 2020 event was virtual , it was encouraging seeing all your smiling faces back on campus this year .
Life U held our inaugural Spirit Week at the beginning of October to celebrate all that makes Life University unique and to promote the pride we have as members of the Life U community . Check out the fun photos inside this issue for more on how Spirit Week got our Fall Quarter off to a great start . In closing , I just want to say this to the entire Life U family : Your impact matters ! Now , admittedly , impacts come in many shapes and sizes , and they can be both positive and negative in nature . Regardless , your impact most certainly matters because it is the effect you have on everyone and everything around you . I can assure you Life U ’ s impact is far-reaching , and it ’ s because of the people in our tribe that give , do , love , and serve , out of their own abundance to make Life U , Chiropractic and vitalistic healthcare known to more and more people around the world .
