CANOGA PARK NATIVE RECEIVES CHIROPRACTIC AWARD
HAYWARD, Calif., February 18, 2003

Life Chiropractic College West student Ed Roberts recently received the Student of the Year award from the (a national award) Gonstead Clinical Studies Society.

As like recipients in the past, names are submitted to the Gonstead Clinical Studies Society's board of directors by field doctors and/or school faculty who closely work with the various chiropractic college Gonstead Clubs.

These awards are given to the people who have over the course of at least a year, demonstrated outstanding service to the profession for their commitment to the Gonstead work. The students have generally served as President or
Vice President of the school's Gonstead Club. They have gone the extra mile to study the Gonstead Technique to where they understand it well enough to teach it to their fellow students. In addition, they have been instrumental in assuring the success of visiting Gonstead doctors with workshops and symposiums being held on campus. This person is usually responsible for keeping in contact with all Gonstead seminars throughout the world and for creating enthusiasm among fellow students to attend these seminars. Without fail, recipients of this award, have gone on to become highly respected and successful chiropractors.

A high school graduate of Faith Baptist Schools in Canoga Park, Roberts is the son of Mr. & Mrs. George Roberts of Winnetka, CA. Roberts earned his B.S. degree in mechanical engineering and his MBA from Pepperdine University.

Before entering Life West, Roberts was employed for 11 years as a product design engineer for the Rocketdyne Division of Boeing North America in Canoga Park.

Along with his chiropractic studies and his clinical experience, Roberts has been president of the college's Gonstead Technique Club for more than two-and-a-half years.
