Last week, our NWHSU community came together for our annual Gratitude Lunch, bringing scholarship recipients, generous donors, and university community members together to share a meal and celebrate the dreams, dedication, and hard work of our students.

We were honored to hear from two wonderful speakers: Dr. Cody Hanish, a 2009 Doctor of Chiropractic graduate, Endowed Scholarship Donor, and founder of Combined Clinics Australia, and Ava Jo Molzen, an Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine doctoral student and Alfred Traina Scholarship awardee.

To all of our scholarship donors, thank you for investing in our students, supporting their journeys, and helping make their goals possible. Your generosity makes a lasting impact on our community and the future of healthcare.

October is National Chiropractic Health Month, and we’re proud to see our students helping bring the celebration into the community.

NWHSU chiropractic student and SACA leader, Elise Rice, helped secure a National Chiropractic Health Month proclamation from the City of Bloomington, Minnesota, recognizing October 2026 and the role chiropractic care can play in supporting joint health, movement, and overall well-being.

This year’s theme, Joint Efforts, highlights the importance of lifelong musculoskeletal health and chiropractic’s evidence-based, nondrug approach to care.

Thank you, Elise, for representing NWHSU and the chiropractic profession in our community!

If you could go back and talk to your T1 self, what would you say?

We asked NWHSU students what advice they’d give themselves at the beginning of their grad school journey. From studying smarter to stressing less, their answers prove that sometimes the things we learn along the way are just as important as what we learn in class.

T1 students, take notes!

In early August, senior sports resident, Dr. Mikaela Lengwin had an amazing opportunity to complete a rotation with the Cleveland Browns as volunteer medical personnel.

Dr. Mik was at the center of elite performance and care in a high-level environment. During her rotation, she had the opportunity to work alongside the Brown’s extensive multidisciplinary team, assisting with post practice lifting sessions, recovery and sideline care.

“I left with a greater appreciation for the level of collaboration, variety of expertise and care that goes into supporting the team. I’m still riding the high from my time there and had a blast working with the big dawgs!”

Grad school is hard, but it’s a whole lot easier when you have the right people beside you. From late night studying and stressful exams to the laughs in between, we’re figuring it out together.

The work may be tough, but the people who make you laugh, support you, and understand exactly what you’re going through makes all the difference.

What does a day in the life of an NWHSU chiropractic student look like? It’s a little bit of everything!

This student’s day started with lecture, followed by adjusting lab to put those skills into practice. Then she was off to the Human Performance Center for training, before heading to the De Rusha Clinic to work with real patients.

And, of course, no student is complete without some study time in the Greenawalt Library!

From the classroom to the lab, the clinic, and everywhere else in between, NWHSU chiropractic students get plenty of opportunities to learn, practice, and grow into future practitioners.

Some of the best places to get focused at NWHSU can be found in the Greenawalt Library! Whether you’re looking for a quiet space to review notes, catch up on assignments or prepare for your next exam, the library has plenty of options to settle in and get some work done.

Need a little more privacy? Students can reserve study rooms for a dedicated space to focus, study with classmates or tackle any assignment.

Congratulations to our chiropractic students on receiving their white coats! This ceremony marks an exciting transition in their education as they enter their clinical internships and begin putting their knowledge into practice by caring for real patients.

Receiving a white coat represents the hard work that brought them here, the responsibility of caring for others, and the beginning of a new chapter as future chiropractors.

Congratulations, future doctors of chiropractic! 🎉
