RENAISSANCE WOMAN
Tyanna Washa (pictured left) is president of the High-Velocity Low-Amplitude Club at Palmer, an active Palmer mentor, and a standout on the intramural basketball team that took home gold at the Chiro Games in Missouri.

“AS THE PROFESSION GROWS and four-year colleges begin to add chiropractic programs, we face more competition than ever. Investing in the student experience is an investment in the future of the College and our vision for a world of unlimited health and human potential.” Some students are drawn to Palmer because of its rich

experience has been the appointment of Abbey Nagle-Kuch as the new dean of student affairs. Nagle-Kuch is a fiſth-generation Quad Citian who recently celebrated her 11th year at Palmer. Her time on campus began in the Office of Financial Planning, and Nagle-Kuch is uniquely suited to connect students with College resources and to the broader community. “I think about our work like a great hotel,” says Nagle-

Tat small window is where we can foster a sense of belonging — it’s where their connection to our history and their lifelong feeling of belonging begins.” Te Board of Trustees, Dr. Marchiori, and the
administration put the student experience at the heart of Palmer’s strategic plan. Trough her leadership, Nagle-Kuch nurtures a culture of support for students and their learning, while igniting students’ lifelong connection to Palmer College.
