This year's Life Chiropractic College West's annual homecoming ("Explore Chiropractic") was held at the San Francisco Exploratorium, a world-renowned museum with more than 500 exhibits showcasing science, art and human perception.
A unique feature of the event was a 3 1/2 hour live Internet broadcast provided coverage of several activities, guest interviews and demonstrations of the museum's exhibits. Those not able to attend were able to log on to the college's website and participate in the celebration.
"To our knowledge, this was the first chiropractic event broadcast on the Internet," said Jonathan Lance, the college's public relations manager.
"The broadcast quality was superb," observed LCCW President Dr. Gerard Clum. "A number of those who tuned in said it was better quality than the Fox website and approaching the CNN level of quality."
Online viewers were able to view the presentations of the alumni association's awards. Dr. Ari Diskin of Melbourne, Australia (class of 1984) received the alumnus award; Nina Robinson, a junior, was honored as student of the year.
