Make a Lasting Impact

Dr. "River" Chuck Ribley and the Lasting Purpose Alumni and Event Center

Dr. Chuck Ribley, known to many as “River,” was one of 16 Life University (Life U) founders that essentially spoke Life U into existence during many walks on the sands of Ormond Beach, Florida. These 16 visionaries crafted their dream and transformed it into reality in 1974 when Life Chiropractic College was founded. Dr. Ribley served on the Life University Board of Trustees from the beginning, and soon after, Life U became the largest chiropractic college in the world. He has been deeply committed to the University by giving his time, talent and treasure over decades of service.
