National University of Health Sciences celebrated its Spring 2024 graduates at its April 19 commencement ceremony, including 21 new doctors of chiropractic.
Graduates received diplomas in chiropractic, naturopathic medicine, advanced clinical practice, acupuncture and biomedical sciences.
Kristine Aikenhead, DC, who retires this spring after dedicating her entire 33-year career to chiropractic and naturopathic medicine education at National University, served as commencement speaker. She shared the moment she realized her purpose in chiropractic medicine and encouraged students to find their purpose too.
“Today at your commencement, you are receiving a call to adventure,” she said, adding that graduates should hold true to their purpose and stay the course during challenges. “You actually still have a lot to learn and a lot of growing to do.”
Valedictorians of the chiropractic medicine, naturopathic medicine and biomedical sciences programs also shared remarks of encouragement.
