"Here is the call to action," said Karen Erickson, B.S., D.C, a 1988 graduate of New York Chiropractic College (NYCC), as she addressed the 2019 centennial graduates as their commencement speaker.
Friends, family and members of the NYCC community watched online as degrees were virtually conferred to 74 Doctor of Chiropractic students and 111 Master of Science degree students. Master's students graduated from programs including Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine, Human Anatomy and Physiology Instruction, Applied Clinical Nutrition, Diagnostic Imaging and Clinical Anatomy.
New York Chiropractic College will host its first-ever online commencement event on Saturday, August 1, to confer degrees and recognize graduates' exceptional accomplishments. Twenty-eight Doctor of Chiropractic students will participate in the Spring 2020 Transitions Ceremony on July 30 at 11:45 a.m. in the College's Delavan Theater.
New York Chiropractic College has begun to reopen its doors to students, who return to campus to participate in the hands-on portion of their education.
The NYCC campus and health centers have been closed since mid-March due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Now, in accordance with New York State guidelines, the College has begun a safe, measured return and reopening of its facilities.
New York Chiropractic College (NYCC) has invited Doctor of Chiropractic students to return to campus this summer for a phased re-opening of College facilities, and has also announced an adjusted schedule in preparation for an in-person Fall 2020 term.
