Dear TCC Community,  

 

With the summer trimester coming to an end, it’s a great time to reflect on the accomplishments seen over the past month. Each class, clinic hour, and patient interaction brings you one step closer to your professional goals.  

 

Benjamin Franklin once said that “an investment in knowledge pays the best interest.” Many of you are in the midst of final examinations, while others are preparing to begin the next chapter of your professional career after graduation. Wherever you are in your journey, remember that the long hours you put in now—the “investment” of your effort, dedication, and perseverance—will yield lifelong returns for you, your patients, and the communities you will serve. 

 

And, now, here are some highlights from the past month:  

 

2025 Convention
In July, we hosted our annual convention, welcoming speakers from across the country for three action-packed days of the latest advancements in chiropractic tools and techniques. More than just an educational event, it was a wonderful opportunity for alumni and friends to return to the TCC campus and reconnect with each other.  

 

Dr. Max Vige Receives William D. Harper Award 
Dr. Max Vige, a proud Texas Chiropractic College alumnus and dedicated supporter, was honored with the William D. Harper Award—TCC’s most prestigious recognition—during our annual chiropractic convention on Friday, July 11, 2025, in Pasadena, TX. Read the full story here. 

 

Lunch and Learn with Dr. Todd Riddle 
In July’s Lunch and Learn, we were proud to feature TCC faculty member, Dr. Todd Riddle, who shared his expertise in providing chiropractic care at the elite athletic level.  A special thanks to the TCC Ambassadors for hosting this Lunch and Learn. 

 

I look forward to celebrating with our graduates at commencement and honoring the dedication, perseverance, and hard work that brought you to this moment. For the rest of our TCC community, I’m excited to welcome you back in September as we begin the fall trimester refreshed, recharged, and ready to take the next steps in your journey. 

 

Best regards,
