One question, three answers


Which Palmer professor is an icon in your life as a student?


Kara Gauthier, Student


Meredith Meyers, D.C. (`07) is my mentor and icon. She is an exceptional leader with a vast amount of knowledge. Dr. Meyers has always supported me through my ups and downs, and she gives students confidence and the tools to succeed independently.


Keaton Schoenfeld, Student


Kevin Cunningham, D.C. (`88), goes above and beyond for his students. From helping us perfect our technique to simply asking about our day — or even inviting us for a round of golf — he makes a lasting, positive impact on everyone he teaches. I strive to build the same meaningful, trusting relationships with my patients that Dr. Cunningham has built with us.


Yutong "Mickey" Wu, Student


My iconic professor is Ed Pappagallo, D.C. (`85). I admire his humor and the way he genuinely connects with students. His classroom feels relaxed and engaging, and he truly cares about building relationships with students. What stands out most is his humility; even with his experience, he openly shares that he continues learning from his students every day.
