History of Life Chiropractic College West Life
Chiropractic College West traces its founding date to 1976, when the institution
was known
as Pacific States Chiropractic College. During 1976 and 1977, Pacific States
began the process of
developing an educational institution and preparing the College to receive
its first class of students. In April 1978, the charter class of Pacific States was
matriculated.
Due to a rapidly changing economic situation, combined with other institutional
setbacks, the Board
of Regents of Pacific States considered entering into a relationship with
an established chiropractic
college. In March 1981, through the efforts of Dr. George Anderson,
Dr. George Wentland, and Dr. Sid E.
Williams, president and founder of Life Chiropractic College (now Life
University), an agreement was
reached between Life Chiropractic College and Pacific States Chiropractic
College. As a result, the
College was renamed Life Chiropractic College West. It is in this context
that we are proud and honored
to consider Dr. Sid E. Williams the founder of Life Chiropractic College
West.
The College has been profoundly influenced by the objectives,
dedication, commitment, and enthusiasm
of Dr. Williams and the entire Life community. We are appreciative of
the early efforts of Dr.
George Anderson and Dr. George Wentland. We are thankful for the vision
of Dr. Williams and his
unceasing pursuit of the realization of his dream of a healthier tomorrow
through chiropractic. |
