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.

Larry Celebrates with Carolina Miracle League

Sherman College mascot Larry the Lion joined fellow mascots from (pictured L to R) Carolina Miracle League, Wofford College and Limestone College, along with community members and families, to celebrate the league’s 15th anniversary. This local nonprofit gives kids facing mental or physical challenges the chance to play baseball in an organized league. Sherman has long been involved with the organization with the college sponsoring a team and students and employees serving as buddies in the league.

Sherman Sponsors Spartanburg “Crit”

Sherman College of Chiropractic served as sponsor to a major cycling event this spring. The Spartanburg Regional Healthcare System Criterium is a closed-circuit, multi-lap cycling race through downtown Spartanburg.

The Criterium turns the heart of the city into an extravagant tailgating party to watch cyclists race around the half-mile downtown course. The race is a part of the USA CRITS Speed Week series and is known for its open-air plaza center, dangerously sharp left turns and unique atmosphere.

Enjoying the annual tradition, local alumni and college employees attended the Crit to watch the races and network with other community groups.
