Sherman College Prepares for Presidential Leadership Transition THE SHERMAN COLLEGE BOARD OF TRUSTEES AND PRESIDENT EDWIN CORDERO, D.C., HAVE BEGUN A PRESIDENTIAL LEADERSHIP TRANSITION. SHERMAN COLLEGE’S FIFTH PRESIDENT, CORDERO HAS SERVED IN THE ROLE SINCE JANUARY 1, 2013 AND WILL COMPLETE HIS CONTRACT ON DECEMBER 31, 2022, LEAVING A RICH LEGACY. “Sherman College holds a special place in my heart, and I am incredibly proud to have served as its president for the last decade,” Cordero said of his tenure at the institution. “I have always felt that service is a blessing, and I am truly thankful for the opportunity this role has provided to positively impact Sherman College, chiropractic education, and the profession as a whole.” Cordero will continue to oversee the college through the end of the year, while the Board of Trustees and its search committee work to find the college’s next president. As Sherman College approaches its 50th anniversary in 2023, the board will be looking for a leader to take the institution through its next level of growth. “The Board of Trustees is deeply grateful for all Dr. Cordero has done for Sherman College during his presidency, and will work with him for a seamless transition,” said search committee chair and past board chair Judy Nutz Campanale, D.C., A.C.P. “He has used his unique gifts and talents to achieve increased student enrollment, greater financial security, and an unprecedented campus transformation.

Cordero has positioned Sherman College as a preeminent chiropractic institution in the U.S. and the world – one that focuses on the philosophy, science and art of chiropractic. He more than doubled enrollment within the first three years of his tenure. He also sparked growth in diversity, working to increase recruiting efforts in Puerto Rico and other areas across the nation and internationally. Hispanic students now account for more than 20 percent of total college enrollment, and Sherman students hail from 48 states and 12 countries.
