Campus Raises Money, Awareness for Project R.E.S.T.
Students, faculty and staff enjoyed a break from the dress code on April 26 for a good cause. For a minimum $5 donation, many on campus participated in Denim Day, an annual awareness event and fundraiser to benefit Project R.E.S.T., an organization dedicated to Restoring, Empowering, Supporting and Transforming the lives of survivors of domestic and sexual violence and the greater local community. April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month, and Project R.E.S.T. promotes Denim Day as part of a large-scale effort to raise awareness and to help prevent sexual violence. Sherman College participated in the campaign for its seventh year, collecting $732 in donations for the organization’s work with the community.

Statement on Vaccine Mandates Sherman College strives to create an experience and training for future chiropractors that is inspiring and congruent with the values and tenets of the college. To accomplish that goal within the legalities and requirements of governments and regulatory agencies has always been a challenge—one that has been amplified by the COVID-19 pandemic. Sherman College has previously expressed its position on personal autonomy and freedom of choice in healthcare decisions on the basis of personal, philosophical and religious beliefs. Sherman College is actively engaged in exploring all legal options should vaccinations or other interventions become mandated at the federal, state or accreditation levels, which impact the institution and its stakeholders. Sherman College has always stood out by standing up for principles. To that end, we will continue to work tirelessly to ensure that people can choose their health care services and that vertebral subluxation correction is available to people of all ages and independent of their symptomatic presentation, vaccination status, lifestyle or any other factors.
