May 06 2024 - 7:43PM
The Parker University Board of Trustees is proud to announce
that its president, Dr. William E. Morgan, has signed a contract
extending his current leadership position until 2030. This contract
aligns with the approval of Parker University’s new Strategic Plan,
which was recently approved by the Board of Trustees and will be
launched on September 1, 2024.
Dr. Morgan’s contributions and his selfless
service have been highly regarded at Parker University. His
direction was critical in making Parker Seminars’ Las Vegas 2024
“Invictus” event the largest chiropractic seminar available to the
public and in growing Parker University into one of the largest
chiropractic schools in the world.
Dr. Steven W. Brooks, the Parker University Board
of Trustees Chairman, shares, “I am honored, on behalf of the Board
of Trustees, to make this announcement. Under the leadership of Dr.
Morgan and his team, Parker University has reached remarkable
heights. We are eager to witness the accomplishments that the
leadership team will bring over the next six years. Dr. Morgan has
been instrumental in fulfilling Dr. James W. Parker’s vision of
making our institution a global leader in healthcare education. As
a 1999 Parker University graduate, it gives me great pleasure to
officially share this news.”
Accomplishments and AccoladesOne of Dr.
Morgan’s most showcased accomplishments includes his demonstrated
ability to organize and delegate to get Parker University up and
running within one week of the 2019 tornado that directly hit and
destroyed much of the Dallas, Texas, campus. Soon after, when the
COVID-19 pandemic transpired, Dr. Morgan immediately distinguished
innovative solutions to continue growing the university’s student
population. He spearheaded campus restoration during the south
building reconstruction and the highly anticipated opening of
ParkerFit.
Dr. Morgan is widely recognized beyond the Parker
University campus in the chiropractic world. He has notably served
as a Chiropractor to Congress, the Supreme Court, and the White
House, as well as Parker University’s seventh president. He is an
active Texas Chiropractic Association member and proud Texan.
