Student High Fives

It was an incredibly hot and muggy Saturday morning of August 10, but a group of interns were at the Kennesaw Grand Prix Series: Hero Run by 7:00 a.m. ready to show the benefits of Chiropractic to all in attendance. They showed great professionalism and enthusiasm, so I would like to extend to them a High Five! Well done to:

Thomas Klaus
Carmen Gogu
Jeffrey Pruitt
Ciani Clarke
Samantha Garlick

Student Leadership Awards Night Recap

The student experience goes way beyond the classroom. Recognizing well-balanced students are infinitely more prepared for life after LIFE, Life University offers opportunities for students to express themselves, build transferable skills and develop new relationships both on-campus and in the community. The student experience starts with our student leaders and student organizations. Our campus would not be as great as it is without the energy, creativity and passion of our outstanding students. The Office of Student Affairs is pleased to announce the recipients of this year’s Student Leadership Awards, as well as all nominees. View the pictures from the photo booth HERE. 

The student leaders and the student organizations here at Life University have contributed enormously to overall student experience at Life University. This is our way to say, “Thanks for all you do for Life University.” On behalf of Student Affairs, the Events & Awards Committees and all of our award presenters, we would like to sincerely thank you.
