International Students Establish Clubs
With almost 60 Canadian students attending Northwestern (10 percent of the student body), Rachel Schuster and Shannon Miller have established a Canadian Club to help Canadian students make an easier transition at the college. "Our eventual goal is to establish a mutually beneficial relationship with the Canadian Chiropractic Association, said Shannon Miller.
The five Mexican students attending Northwestern College of Chiropractic have joined the first chapter in the US of the Association of Mexican Students of Chiropractic. Several years ago, there were no Mexican students at Northwestern. The efforts of Jim McDonald, vice president for institutional advancement at Northwestern, have built bridges with the chiropractic association of Mexico, the Colegio de Profesionistas Cientifico Quiropracticos de Mexico. Jim McDonald said that the president of that association, Enrique Benet-Canut, was "especially generous in working to establish linkages with Northwestern."
