New York Chiropractic College celebrated our annual Homecoming Weekend on July 16-18. The three-day event kicked off Friday with a presentation, Public Health: Serving Your Community, by 1997 graduate, Dr. Teresa M. Hoban, Director of the Academy for Professional Success at New York Chiropractic College.

Immediately following Dr. Hoban’s presentation students, faculty, staff and alumni filled the Athletic Center for an NYCC tradition – Unity Day! As evening fell, over 200 beautifully dressed guests traveled to the Ventosa Vineyards on Seneca Lake for the Alumni Dinner Dance.

This year’s event marked a milestone for Dr. Frank Nicchi who was recognized by the Alumni Relations Advisory Council for his 10 years as President of New York Chiropractic College. In turn, Dr. Nicchi presented the Distinguished Alumnus Award to 1978 graduate, Dr. Lewis Bazakos, to honor his outstanding leadership and service to New York Chiropractic College and the Chiropractic profession. This high honor goes to an individual of the highest integrity who has given positive direction to other people’s lives.

The event filled weekend continued with an all-star lineup of dynamic speakers. Our Keynote Speaker, U.S. Army Brigadier General (Ret.) Becky Halstead, excited the audience as she presented her vision of a united chiropractic profession and her strong support for The Foundation for Chiropractic Progress.

Special Guest Speaker and one of the most revered lecturers in the field of nutrition and herbal therapy, Dr. Michael Dobbins dazzled the participants with his passionate lectures on Growth Factors, Natural Compounds and the Care of the Cancer Patient and Unraveling the Antioxidant Story.

Homecoming 2010 marked the second year of the popular Traditional Chinese Medicine Symposium with an ever increasing number of topics and presenters. A leader in the profession, Mr. Michael Jabbour, one of the founding directors of the New York State Acupuncture Coalition and the current President of the Acupuncture Society of New York (ASNY), gave the final presentation Globalizing Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine.

We thank and applaud all of our superstar speakers whose presence and knowledge of chiropractic, acupuncture and oriental medicine and nutrition attracted a record number of NYCC graduates back to their alma mater.
