Alumni Updates

Dr. Deborah Pogrelis (’78), LIFE Board of Trustee Chairman, will be hosting students in her Woodstock practice for another installment of Real World: DCs (RWDC) on Thursday, Feb. 28 from 7:00-9:00 p.m. RWDC is a valuable and fun way for students to begin thinking about their future careers while developing a close rapport with LIFE alumni.

Dr. BJ Harman (‘80) and his wife Jackie welcomed their first granddaughter, Lauren Gabrielle Weber, to the family on October 20, 2012. The Harman’s daughter Jennifer and her husband Scott fortunately live close enough so that BJ and Jackie will get to see and spoil her on a regular basis. Congratulations to all.

Dr. Helene Ginian (‘93) has just delivered her 25th grandchild, a boy, Moshe Yaakov. She is practicing Network Spinal Analysis in Lakewood, NJ and also has a clinic and lab for Homeopathic medicine.  She wishes warmest regards to everyone. 

Welcome aboard our newest State Reps for South Carolina, Iowa and Georgia - Drs. Tom Mercante (’95), Beth Zogg-Kellett ('95) and Cathy Wendland-Colby ('99)! As a State Rep, they will serve as a liaison between their state and the University to help strengthen relationships among our alumni and friends.

Dr. Patrick Ryan ('96) of Ryan Chiropractic in Randolph, NJ is the new President of the Gonstead Clinical Studies Society.

Dr. Claudia Daude (‘97) and her husband Scott welcomed their first child, Christian Johann on October 6, 2012. Congratulations!

Back In Motion Chiropractic, owners and practitioners, Drs. Michael Rosen (‘98) and Gina Policari (‘98) have been awarded Encore publications “Best of 2013” for Wilmington, NC.
