When the lectures were complete, we hosted the Exhibitors Connections Reception. This was the last chance for attendees to chat with our wonderful exhibitors before they left until next year.

Another change to the schedule was having the PCI/Senior Steward Reception on Saturday. We invited our honored members to a special reception sponsored by China Gel and then invited the rest of the attendees and other guests to join us for a Grand Cocktail Reception where more awards were presented by Dr. Stiefel to special individuals. Conversations, laughter and smiles filled the room until it was time to call it a night.

Thank you to everyone for being patient as we worked very hard to provide the best event on campus in a number of years. We had a great time and look forward to 2017!

For a different twist on our lunch break, we invited some of our favorite food trucks on campus. With the beautiful weather, this gave a lot of people a chance to enjoy their lunch outdoors!

For the first time at homecoming, some of our alums were invited to be involved in a mentor session with our student attendees. Dr. Bruce Hodges led this session to success! Our doctors shared information about themselves and their practices, and the students were able to ask them questions. We have received a lot of great feedback of this mentor session and look forward to incorporating it into next year's program. Thank you to our mentor doctors: Drs. Thomas D. Stotz, Rachael Fabbi, Chad Blaker, and Daniel Strauss. You did a superb job!

It was back to lectures for the afternoon choosing between Dr. Lorinda Sorensen discussing Phytoestrogens: The What, Who and Why, or Dr. Rachael Fabbi sharing knowledge on Establishing and Protecting the Microbiome for the Newborn and Infant. The last lecture of the day was Dr. Manuel Duarte, for Foot Levelers, focusing on Advanced Examination and Manual Treatment Techniques of the Lower Extremities. Whew! That's a whole lot of learning!
