Dr. Khelly Webb Adopts a Chiropractic Student

James Dohn

In December of 1992, I will be graduating from Cleveland Chiropractic College, Los Angeles.

I was "adopted" before my first trimester started by a very successful, considerate, professional, and responsible chiropractor, Dr. Khelly Webb of Los Alamitos, California. Dr. Webb purchased all my textbooks, requesting only that I do the same for a student when I'm in practice. That's called supporting your own, looking after the children, giving back, nurturing the tree -- planning for the future.

Dr. Webb's gift may be more than a giving act. It may be the wave of the future, as tuition costs have increased over seven percent each trimester since I began nine trimesters ago (from $2,700 to $4,100 per trimester since 1989).

Dr. Webb's gift is substantial indeed: The cost of books for an average trimester is approximately $300.

I'm giving Dr. Webb a plaque of appreciation for her wall (she has plenty already, but this one will be special). I think no chiropractor's wall is complete without a plaque of appreciation from an "adopted" student.

Make a note to call your alma mater and create a relationship with a student.
