He leaves the university well-positioned forfuture growth, with new academic programs designed to compliment chiropracticready for introduction in January 2013, a full class of incoming chiropracticstudents for the fall 2012 trimester, and a record setting crowd of attendees set to attend Parker Seminars Toronto next month.
Dr. Mancini will work with Parker throughNov. 30, 2012, until a new president can be identified and hired.
