Life Students at Games
Sports Chiropractic Club at The World Games 2022
From FICS student representative Zoe Campbell:
On behalf of the Sports Chiropractic Club at Life University, I would like to sincerely thank you for all of your help in organizing a few of our officers to come to Alabama and meet you in person and see The World Games up close. We are so excited to see the great work you all have done for the past few weeks with the athletes!
We can’t emphasize enough how grateful we are for you all organizing this for us. This opportunity is truly once in a lifetime, and we are so grateful to be a part of it. We are so fortunate to have had Dr Hottum on our team while he was a student; without him, none of this would have been possible truly.

Dean Hottum
2022 Student Scholarship Winner
Having been involved with sports all of my life, it is only natural now that I should look to incorporate them into my chosen career. I am fortunate enough to have attended Life University which gave me the resources to pursue this budding dream.
I am truly honored and excited to be a recipient of the 2022 FICS Student Scholarship. It is an amazing opportunity that I have been granted, and I am very much looking forward now to getting to work!
It is a dream come true to be a part of the FICS Games Commission and to work alongside leaders in the field of sports chiropractic to help athletes all over the world. Thank you to everyone who helped make this dream become a reality.

Samuel Tiley
2021 Student Scholarship Winner
I feel extremely privileged to have been awarded this scholarship and cannot wait to begin work within the commission to help bring Sports Chiropractic to more athletes and teams while increasing the opportunities for chiropractors in the sporting world.
This scholarship allows me to access the incredible ICSC course which I otherwise would not have been able to access, therefore helping me to further enhance my education before graduation.
I would like to thank Life University for their sponsorship as without them I would not have been given this incredible opportunity.
