The Parker Alumni Association became the first donor to the newly renamed Parker University when the association presented a $5,000 check during a recent board of trustees meeting on campus. Dr. Vincent Scheffler, president of the Parker Alumni Association, presented the check to Mr. Bill Nardiello, chairman of the Parker University Board of Trustees and Dr. Fabrizio Mancini, president of Parker University, on behalf of its members.
The donation was given to the President's Circle Giving Club, the highest giving level at the university.
"This donation is made on behalf of our members and all graduates who were given a voice during this historic transition to university status," said Dr. Scheffler.
"It was only natural for us to include our alumni during the planning stages of becoming a university because we greatly value their opinions," said Dr. Mancini. "We wanted to know what they thought, so it was tremendously important to involve them."
Dr. Scheffler explained that the association was approached numerous times by the institution's administration for feedback on the university name change. "We appreciate the administration's request to hear from our members and the 6,000 graduates who have made this period of expansion possible," said Dr. Scheffler. "Without these individuals, Parker would not be ready to move to university status at such a young age in the institution's history."
For the fourth consecutive year, the Parker Alumni Association has been a member of the President's Circle Giving Club, the highest giving level at the university.
"Contributions at the President's Circle level provide unrestricted funds to be used at the president's discretion to support the highest priorities of the university, determined by the board of trustees," said JoLynne Jensen, vice president of development of Parker University. "These funds can support the creation of a new program or provide the margin of excellence to take a program from good to great."

When sports chiropractors first appeared at the Olympic Games in the 1980s, it was alongside individual athletes who had experienced the benefits of chiropractic care in their training and recovery processes at home. Fast forward to Paris 2024, where chiropractic care was available in the polyclinic for all athletes, and the attitude has now evolved to recognize that “every athlete deserves access to sports chiropractic."
It is estimated that 61% of patients with CTS avoid taking surgical options due to postoperative complications and costly surgical procedures. Chiropractic care offers a comprehensive and effective treatment for carpal tunnel syndrome, addressing the condition from multiple angles. Recent studies also have unveiled a game-changing adjunct to chiropractic treatments for CTS: nerve flossing.
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?
