Dr. Donald P. Kern, President of Palmer College of Chiropractic, has been selected as one of 95 participants from around the world to attend Harvard University's Summer 1990 Institute for Educational Management. The Institute for Educational Management (IEM), now in its 21st year, is a comprehensive, intensive four-week program for senior executives of colleges and universities. It provides an opportunity for growth, renewal, and the development of new insights into leadership and management in higher education.
Participants in the institute are college and university presidents, vice presidents, deans, and other senior officers from institutions in both the public and private sectors. All aspects of the institute's programs are designed to assist participants to benefit from the experience of their colleagues at other institutions.
Instructors for the institute include professors from the Harvard Business School, the Harvard Graduate School of Education, and other leading higher education experts from around the country. The curriculum focuses on the major challenges faced by senior officers: monitoring the environment, setting directions, managing implementation, and developing resources.
Dr. Sharon McDade, director of the Institute for Educational Management, said that this year's admissions committee was extremely impressed with the quality of the applicant pool from which the participants were selected.
"It was a very competitive admissions process, and we are very proud of the higher education leaders that have been selected for the Institute."
This year's Institute will be held July 8-August 4 at Harvard University in Cambridge, Massachussetts.

Some doctors thrive in a personality-based clinic and have a loyal following no matter what services or equipment they offer, but for most chiropractic offices who are trying to grow and expand, new equipment purchases help us stay relevant and continue to service our client base in the best, most up-to-date manner possible. So, regarding equipment purchasing: should you lease, get a bank loan, or pay cash?
