If you cast your mind back to the excitement that surrounded your graduation, the same buzz has just been the thrill felt by the Class of 2006 from Macquarie University. April 20th marked a special date for graduates, partners, families and faculty for the 93 new chiropractors received their Master of Chiropractic degree while a further 70 were admitted to the degree of Bachelor of Chiropractic Science at the formal ceremony of conferring of degrees.
TCa with the Sydney College of Chiropractic made the traditional Graduation Ball for the graduates, family and alumni, a night to remember. The connection with the profession was established as the new graduates swore the Chiropractic Oath and were introduced to profession by Dr Mark Uren and Dr. Simon Walters. They were exhorted to excellence with an address by the University Head of Department of Health and Chiropractic – Dr. Sharyn Eaton.
Well known friend and teacher to chiropractors – neurosurgeon Dr. Charlie Teo gave an extremely entertaining and hilarious account of his own professional journey and as the Ball’s keynote speaker urged the graduates to persevere in what is true against opposition; to treat patients as you would your family and to maintain in mind the ‘bigger picture’.
Master of Ceremonies Prof. Rod Bonello conducted a very entertaining evening and helped to deliver a very successful event for the Ball organisers The Chiropractic Alumni and The Sydney College of Chiropractic. The Class of 2006 are wished every success in their careers in chiropractic as they spread their wings nationally and globally.
