Northeast College Announces Spring 2023 Commencement Speaker Dr. Ryan Barker

Northeast College of Health Sciences will welcome Dr. Ryan Barker (D.C. ‘10, M.S. ’10, M.S. ‘13) back to campus to address new graduates at Spring 2023 Commencement on July 29, 2023. After all, Barker knows the hard work and dedication that goes into each healthcare degree, since he earned three from his alma mater. 

After graduating from Northeast with his Doctor of Chiropractic and master’s degree in applied clinical nutrition in 2010, Barker worked as an associate doctor in a large multidisciplinary clinic in Rochester. During this time, he earned his third degree from Northeast College: a master’s degree in Human Anatomy and Physiology Instruction.

Since then, Barker started a successful practice, Oswego Family Chiropractic, and now teaches anatomy and physiology along with nutrition courses five days a week at SUNY Oswego. 

Ceremony Week at Northeast College.

The culmination of the College’s Ceremony Week, the Commencement Ceremony features the presentation of degrees to Doctor of Chiropractic, applied clinical nutrition, human anatomy & physiology instruction, and diagnostic imaging graduates. The highly anticipated week of events also includes the College’s Commitment to Excellence Pledge event for new chiropractic students in their first trimester and the Transitions Ceremony, which marks seventh-trimester students’ shift to the clinical phase of their education and includes the awarding of traditional white clinical coats. 

Northeast’s Spring 2023 Commencement Ceremony will be held on the College’s Seneca Falls campus on Saturday, July 29, 2023, at 9:30 a.m. For more information, visit www.NortheastCollege.edu/commencement.
