October 23, 2026

Life West Nebraska

On-Campus Event

Discovery Day

Discovery Days are the perfect opportunity to really experience Life West. Over a full day, you’ll dig into exactly what Chiropractic is, what it isn’t and how we approach the education. Talk with our students, hear from panels of practicing chiropractors and engage with our faculty, admissions and leadership teams. There’s an amazing energy and culture within these walls and you can only experience that here. So, whether Discovery Day is your first step or your last, walk away with a great experience, a better understanding of your “why?”, and have the info you need to know what’s next.
