Dynamic Chiropractic Staff

At a recent visit to the New York Chiropractic College, Dr. Masanori Murai, president of Chukyo College of Chiropractic Nagoya, Japan, presented a gift of a Buddha to NYCC, which symbolizes the "God of protection over the campus."

Dr. Murai said in presenting the Buddha to Dr. Domenic Firriolo, vice president of academic affairs, "May this Buddha always keep vigil in the protection of your students and your campus. It is offered as a gift of our friendship, and thanks for the many courtesies extended to the students and staff of Chukyo College of Chiropractic."

In accepting the Buddha, Dr. firriolo thanked Dr. Murai and invited him and his students to visit the new Seneca Falls campus next September.
