Wade Davis, PhD – Honorary Degree: Doctor of Letters

“…The goal surely ought not be to distinguish the traditional from the modern, but rather to make available to all the entire range of medical modalities that have inspired humanity since the dawn of consciousness.”
~Dr. Wade Davis   Read Dr. Davis’ speech.

Donald Warren, ND, Alumnus (1984) – Presidential Medallion

“Never before has there been a greater potential for naturopathic medicine to be integrated into the health care system…but it comes with both risks and great promise.  You, the class of 2011 and those who follow you will have the privilege  of determining what our profession will look like thirty years from now.”  ~Dr. Donald Warren  Read Dr. Warren’s speech.
