“Every year, alumni travel from across the country to return for homecoming, drawn back to this place that shaped so many of us. Now is the time for alumni to join in and help carry the spirit of Palmer forward."
—Barry McAlpine, D.C. (`71)
A Palmer education shapes not only
careers, but people. For Dr. McAlpine, supporting Palmer students means ensuring access to the full Palmer experience, setting them on the path for a deeply meaningful life and career. That conviction led Dr. McAlpine and his
family to establish an endowed scholarship in honor of his sister, Gloria McAlpine (`74), whose life and values were closely tied to the College. The choice was a tribute and, the family hopes, something that will inspire others to give. “The gift represents the deep trust I have in the College,” says Dr. McAlpine. “It’s trust in the direction of the school, and it’s a personal trust I have in the people at the helm. These are dedicated, visionary leaders. Because I know them, I’m happy to give a gift for the future.” Dr. McAlpine’s message to fellow
graduates is simple and urgent: now is the time. “Palmer has more than 30,000 alumni,” he says. “Imagine the impact if even a fraction committed to regular giving.
Affordability would improve. Opportunity would expand. And the College would continue to thrive as a place that educates the whole person.” That team spirit is central to Dr. McAlpine’s vision of success. Success, for him, comes directly from connecting with others and serving a greater good. Supporting scholarships is one of the most direct ways to do that at Palmer College. A gift of any amount to support scholarships can ease the financial burden students carry, allowing them to fully engage, to learn, grow, lead, and become the professionals Palmer intends them to be. “At the end of every month, there’s a little ping on my phone,” Dr. McAlpine says. “It’s the reminder that my recurring gift to Palmer has gone through, and it always brings a smile. I think, ‘Someone is learning right now,’ and that’s a great feeling. We need more chiropractors. And that means supporting Palmer.”
