A message from Parker University’s president, William E. Morgan, DC:
Dear Parker Family,
Last night, October 20, 2019, Parker University was directly hit by a tornado. While no one was injured, the main campus sustained enough damage to be closed for the next week and possibly longer.
While we have closed the campus due to safety concerns, we are preparing to have classroom space available in the very near future. Some of the classrooms may be temporarily off-campus. Parker has a strong online presence and will increase the percentage of online classes and support systems as we repair our campus buildings.
Our staff will be working from home for the immediate future. Please stay in touch with your managers and keep the communication at a high level.
While much of the campus was damaged, our clinic sustained only minor damage. The Synapse Human Performance Center is totally intact. I expect those clinics to be operational within a week or two depending on when power is restored.
On my way home from the university last night, I was praying a prayer of thanksgiving to God. I was so grateful that this tornado hit us at a time when no students or faculty were on campus. Buildings can be rebuilt.
Please join me in giving thanks that no one was injured and that the damage was not more severe. Our Parker family is resilient and strong, so I know that you will be able to adapt to the changes we will experience over the next few weeks.

May God bless you and protect you,
William E. Morgan, DC
