Sponsor a UWS event! We offers sponsorship opportunities for businesses and organizations looking to connect with our community of students, faculty, alumni, and healthcare professionals. Sponsors can support key events such as Chiropractic Week, continuing education seminars, tabling fairs and student engagement activities, gaining valuable visibility while contributing to the advancement of health sciences education. Sponsorship benefits may include brand recognition, exhibitor space, speaking opportunities, and direct engagement with attendees.
Clinical Education
The Community-Based Clinical Education (CBCE) is a distributed model of teaching and learning where students gain real-world, diverse, and rigorous clinical experiences. With a distributed network, students can engage in clinical immersions in many different health systems and geographic regions. Interns engage in a wide range of practice activities under the mentorship of a field-based chiropractic physician to gain valuable real-world experience and insights relative to chiropractic practice. The program is intended to enhance the learning and knowledge of the chiropractic intern, supplementing what is already provided in the doctor of chiropractic curriculum. Your gift will help UWS expand this service to our community and the program for our clinical students.
Campus Naming Opportunities
UWS is so much more than just bricks and mortar. Our campus is an expression of shared values, a symbol of bold leadership and proof of the growing demand for evidence-informed, integrated, whole-person health care.
Make your personal mark on this momentous step in the university’s journey by making a gift to name a room or space within the new campus. Name a room for yourself, your family, a loved one or an esteemed colleague. There are a wide range of gift amounts with installment options to help you plan your investment.
