From the President: Defending Chiropractic
Sherman College Stands Agains Prescriptive Rights for D.C.s Sherman College of Chiropractic has announced its position defending the holistic origins of the chiropractic profession and recommending against any expansion of scope that would allow doctors of chiropractic prescriptive rights.
Payscale, MarketWatch Rank Chiropractic Among Top 10 Payscale has placed chiropractic at number seven in an article it recently released titled “Best Jobs for Do-Gooders.” The organization shares that 94 percent of chiropractors report a high sense of job meaning, and they earn more than the median salary for U.S. workers. PayScale analyzed thousands of job titles to identify the best jobs for do-gooders. People in the top 10 professions named were most likely to say that their jobs “make the world a better place.” In addition, MarketWatch recently placed the chiropractic profession at the top of its rankings in its list of “10 Professions with the Best Job Security.” In its study, MarketWatch considered unemployment rates among workers in 564 occupations provided by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Estimated employment growth between 2012 and 2022, median 2012 wages, labor force totals, and typical education requirements for each job also came from the BLS, according to the article. These organizations join Fast Company, Forbes, Career Cast and others in naming chiropractic as a top job. Aside from the personal satisfaction of helping people, a chiropractic career (continued on page 14)

SHERMAN
The college asserts that an expansion of practice scope to include the right to prescribe pharmaceuticals is a dangerous precedent for the chiropractic profession that would encroach on the practice of medicine. Chiropractic was founded to provide the public with a valuable, distinct service of enhancing life, health and human potential without duplicating any existing services. Sherman College trains doctors of chiropractic to practice within a separate and distinct healing art with an objective that differs from that of medicine. Sherman College of Chiropractic strongly opposes the expansion of the scope of practice. The college remains steadfast in holding to the origins of chiropractic to improve and elevate the well-being of people through the correction of vertebral subluxations. It recognizes that the unique philosophy and art of chiropractic are scientifically grounded in their own right and require no expansion into the act of medical practice. The practice of medicine has an allopathic and therapeutic objective of diagnosing and treating symptomatology and disease. The objective of chiropractic is to locate, analyze and correct vertebral subluxations (misalignments of the spine that are a detriment to one’s well-being). Expansion of the scope of practice would not only be a departure from the reason the practice of chiropractic has been licensed as a separate healing art in the United States and internationally, but it would also infringe upon other practice acts, ultimately leading to chiropractic losing its unique service to the public. This change would put the public at risk and would likely increase the number of licensure and malpractice complaints in the chiropractic profession. Sherman College of Chiropractic holds the position that the practice of chiropractic remains a service separate and distinct from other healing arts. Its unique clinical objective is to locate, analyze and correct vertebral subluxations. Building on this, Sherman College teaches courses to prepare its graduates to practice as portal-of-entry providers in all 50 states and around the world. Sherman College graduates are competent and trained to meet all requirements for licensure and safe application of the unique service of chiropractors.

From the Board Chair: What We Know
Chinese Exchange Students Visit Sherman College Five exchange students from Southeast University (SEU) in Nanjing, China, visited Sherman College of Chiropractic this winter. They enjoyed auditing basic science and technique classes, making friends, practicing English, shadowing interns at the Sherman College Chiropractic Health Center, exploring the local area and traveling to nearby cities.
What Do We Know? by Peter Kevorkian, D.C. Chair of the Board of Trustees
Sherman students impressed the SEU guests with their passion for chiropractic, their friendliness and their ability to talk about chiropractic anytime, anywhere (including, they say, at the grocery store). The students participating included Tang Yuying, Xu Xinyi, Jiao Jiao, Huang Jinjian and Yu Chenxi.
No matter how much we know, there is more that we don’t know. If we could draw a circle around all of the data and facts that our mind holds, what we know is inside of that circle; that which we don’t know (the unknown) is outside of the circle. The perimeter of the circle is the interface of the known and unknown, and as the circle grows, our perimeter grows and hence our perception of the unknown grows. Stated differently: The more we know, the more that we know that we don’t know.
Sherman College has a faculty exchange program with SEU and hosted several of its faculty members in 2014. Director of Research George Luo, M.D., Ph.D., has been to SEU as a (continued on page 17)
This paradox leads one to ponder the limits of knowledge, data and facts. If what we knew were to extend to infinity, then, theoretically, there would be an equally infinite amount of the unknown. Assuming the logic is not flawed, my proposition is that without a clear certainty of fundamental principles, philosophy and epistemology1; the acquisition of facts and data may lead to faulty assumptions and choices. The idea that our philosophy is built upon deductive principles allows our decisions to encompass a much more congruent model of understanding. The brilliance of the forefathers and foremothers of our profession shines. They began with a premise that there is

order and organization in the universe. From that premise we deduce the principles that guide and direct the service of the chiropractic profession – well, at least, the brand of chiropractic practice that is vitalistic, non-therapeutic and subluxation-centered. In practical application, we honor the limitation of our knowledge by affirming to our patients that we do not heal, that the only healer is life inside the body. Scientific investigation, facts and data can prove or disprove phenomena and understanding based upon the limits of perception. Science can offer ideas and questions to explore the unknown. It is our philosophy that offers a context and a framework of the facts and data. The clinical phenomenon of the vertebral subluxation is centered on the interference of the expression of the mental impulse. The precise manner in which the mental impulse is created or expressed or experienced will never be fully understood equally, so the impact of the vertebral subluxation on the mental impulse will never be fully quantifiable. These facts are the crux of much of the intraprofessional turmoil within chiropractic. Some view vertebral subluxation as (continued on page 24)

Student Ambassador Program Strengthened, Expanded
Supporters Refer Students, Earn My Scholarship Credit
Student Ambassadors play a vital role in connecting with prospective students and share the mission of the college by conducting campus visits and participating in campus-wide events. Students in this program have been working diligently all year to build a strong program.
Alumni and friends continue to refer students. Thanks to each of the following supporters who sent students in fall 2014, winter 2015 and spring 2015, thereby earning My Scholarship credit:
The group meets several times a month for program training, coordinating and recruiting; members also participate in leadership activities.

ROAR Spotlight: Q&A with Nico & Jessica Rocco, D.C.s Members of Sherman College’s Reach Out And Recruit (ROAR) program serve as mentors, shape the profession and influence prospective students through their participation in the program. Agreement signing with UNIBE at Lyceum.
Agreements in Costa Rica, Puerto Rico Bring Sherman to the World Sherman College of Chiropractic is advancing its vision of bringing chiropractic to the world with admission and academic agreements in Costa Rica and Puerto Rico. President Edwin Cordero, D.C., along with several board members and an administrative team, have traveled to both areas this year to continue building relationships with partner institutions. Universidad de Iberoamerica (UNIBE) in San José, Costa Rica, and Sherman College signed an articulation agreement this spring at Lyceum. UNIBE President Dr. Emma Grace Hernandez and Provost/Vice-Chancellor for Global Strategies Dr. Roberto Rodriguez represented the institution at the signing. Recognizing the importance of mutual collaboration and the contributions to society made by institutions of higher education, the colleges agreed to promote exchange between faculty and students of each institution as well as the exchange of academic and research information. Cooperative agreements complement Sherman College’s strengths in the study of the science, philosophy and art of chiropractic and offer a way for institutions to work together and learn from each other. “We look forward to the collaborative work ahead, as well as sharing chiropractic with colleagues across the globe,” Cordero said. (continued on page 8)
ROAR members Nico Rocco, D.C. ’14, and Jessica Rocco, D.C. ’15, practice at Rocco Family Chiropractic in Fort Collins, CO, and have embraced the heart of the ROAR program. We asked them why it’s important to ROAR, and here’s what they had to say. Why did you join ROAR? We were both ROAR Student Leaders while students, and once we graduated became full ROAR Members. We want people to choose Sherman because there they will get a quality education with a good philosophy. In addition, we wanted to be able to bring awareness of chiropractic to schools in our area since the state of Colorado does not have any chiropractic colleges. When you have students shadow you, what do you typically show them? We’ll show them a day in the life of us: being in the office, building a business, teaching them how to network. Being a chiropractor with a practice is a lot of hard work, but it is a lot of fun, too. What is your favorite part of being ROAR members? Our favorite part is knowing that we are still very connected to Sherman College. Being a ROAR member allows future students access to Sherman from far away, and we’re able to give them our personal experience as alumni. The events are also fun – we’ve been fortunate enough to represent our alma mater and share chiropractic with students at Colorado State University on several occasions.
How does ROAR challenge you? The biggest challenge is people’s response to Sherman College being in South Carolina, so far from Colorado. But if the message really gets across to them, it doesn’t matter because they are looking for quality and soundness in their education. What is the best thing about practicing together? We have very different personalities that resonate with different people. Together we’re able to reach a more diverse population with a vast array of people. While we may be different, we both use the same technique, allowing our patients to have continuity of care no matter who is seeing them that day. Why should people join ROAR? Why not? The education that we received at Sherman is something we are incredibly proud of. The ROAR Program makes sure we’re up-to-date on current admission requirements and stocks us with information and giveaways for future students. This program allows you to be part of something bigger than yourself and shape the future of our profession. SHERMAN

All new adjusting tables to offer a consistent experience for the interns and student patients
n
Two case-study learning areas where instructors can utilize our Apple technology teaching tools
n
Titronics Instrumentation and Adjustment Simulators to hone adjusting skills
n

The Chiropractic Health Center is a specialized learning environment where skills gained in the classroom are practiced and honed under the guidance of health center faculty. The Student Clinic Renovation Campaign is raising funds for space renovations in the current student clinic area and to furnish it with state-of-the-art chiropractic equipment. The plans include the addition of a case study area, director’s office and faculty work area. Our goal is to raise $75,000. More than $32,000 was raised during our Lyceum kickoff for the campaign. Since that time, the Global Gateway Foundation has donated $15,000 toward the project. “We thank Dr. Donald Epstein and the Global Gateway Foundation for this generous gift,” said President Edwin Cordero, D.C. “It was a positive boost to a campaign raising funds for renovation of the student clinic to better accommodate our growing enrollment.” Donations may be made online at www.sherman.edu/donate or by mailing a check (made payable to Sherman College) to Sherman College of Chiropractic, Attn: Student Clinic Renovation, P.O.

Academy of Chiropractic Philosophers Continues its Global Expansion The Sherman College Academy of Chiropractic Philosophers (ACP) has wrapped up its programs in Sweden, Australia, Omaha and Chicago and continues its expansion in 2015, moving on to Rhode Island and Europe. Participants from the program in Sweden presented theses and celebrated their achievements at Sherman College’s 2014 International Research and Philosophy Symposium (IRAPS), while the Australian group finished in November 2014 and the Omaha and Chicago cohorts completed the program this spring. The Sherman College Academy of Chiropractic Philosophers is a one-year course designed to enhance the understanding, depth and breadth of chiropractic philosophy. The sessions challenge the thinking process and the application of philosophy in the chiropractic profession. The Academy is committed to helping participants become the writers, thinkers and speakers they desire to be and that the profession needs.
Candidates complete a scholarly 100hour program exploring classical to modern-day philosophy. Candidates also write and submit a thesis paper on a topic of their choosing. The program is divided into five live sessions and five distance learning modules. Topics include Chiropractic Principles and Cycles, Vitalism vs. Mechanism, Science and Philosophy Do Work Together, Adaptability, Signs of Life, and others. Successful completion of the program leads to membership in the prestigious Academy of Chiropractic Philosophers (ACP). The ICA Council on Philosophical Chiropractic Standards accepts the successful completion of the ACP for 100 hours toward its 300-hour Diplomate in Philosophical Chiropractic Standards. A volume of essays from previous graduates is available as the Journal of Academic Philosophers, Vol. 1 at Amazon.com: http://bit.ly/ACPjournal. If you would like more information regarding the ACP program, or if you are interested in hosting a group of 20 or more chiropractors in your geographic area, please contact Sherman College’s Office of Continuing Education at 864578-8770, ext. 229 or lyceum@sherman. edu.

Campus News: Sherman Pride in Action
Liew Proudly Represents Sherman, Singapore at SEA Games
Spotted on Facebook “Holy Smokes! I just received an amazing limited edition of a B.J. Palmer Bust from Sherman College of Chiropractic – the center of the chiropracTIC universe – for simply doing what I love: sharing chiropractic with students. Thank you.” – Reach Out And Recruit (ROAR) member Frank Hahn, D.C., ’04
Liew after running the men’s marathon in the SEA Games; photo courtesy of Mark Teng.
After strenuous training in the U.S., Kenya and Singapore, DC2B and Sherman College student Ashley Liew recently competed in the South East Asian (SEA) Games 2015 held in his home country of Singapore. Liew finished eighth in the June 8 men’s marathon event, completing the race despite torrential downpours and double hamstring injuries. Liew ran the race in memory of his late mother, Wong Swee Lan, who died in 2010 after a long battle with colon cancer. She would have celebrated her 61st birthday on the day of the race. He pulled his right hamstring about halfway through the race and had to make a call: continue or stop. “Mum would have wanted me to do my best,” Liew told The New Paper in Singapore, “so I just kept going.” Then, near the end of the race, he injured his left hamstring. “I had to finish the race for my mum,” Liew said. Kelvin Ng, D.C., ’09, Liew’s chiropractic mentor and friend, said he admires Liew’s perseverance and his respect for and display of the spirit of the game. There was a
mix up at a U-turn during the marathon, where runners went the wrong way, Ng said, and leadership positions were affected as a result. “Not only did Ashley not take advantage of the situation, he slowed down for the leaders to catch up. “Ashley,” Ng shared in a Facebook post honoring his friend and referred student, “you have won the hearts of many with your honor, respect, determination, integrity, sacrifices and most importantly, humility. You have the makings of a champion, and success will always follow these traits.” After the race, Liew shared his motivation and thoughts on the competition: “Happy birthday yesterday, mom. Thank you for inspiring me to fight on with heart at the SEA Games 2015 marathon no matter what the circumstances, whether double hamstring pulls at critical moments or torrential downpour. [I] would not have done it without the loving support of the Singapore home crowd as well. It was a special moment for Team Singapore and Singapore Athletics as we sang our Majulah Singapura national anthem together.”

Do What You Love A Message from your Alumni Association President Jami Karr, D.C., ’00 “Do what you love. Love what you do.” It’s an oft used cliché, but one that keeps coming to my mind as I put my thoughts to paper. I love what I do. I love being a chiropractor, and I love helping people in their quest to express 100 percent of their potential. I love it that almost every person who sits down on my adjusting table doesn’t have a “complaint.” Instead, they sit down with the knowledge that their bodies will function better with less nerve interference. They sit down giving control to the power that made the body. They sit down because their belief tells them it is simply the right thing to do. I love that! I love chiropractic. I have yet to forget, after 15 years in practice, where my “love” all began. When I return to the Sherman College campus, I am always amazed at the vivid memories stirred up by the smell of the Scallon Building and the Health Center. With one inhale, I am a student again, and the memories of my days at Sherman surface. In the next moment, back in reality, I am grateful that I am no longer a student, but rather a practicing chiropractor doing what I love. I am grateful for my Sherman education and for those who saw the value and the importance of educating the future of the profession. They taught me how to “do” in “do what you love.” Thank you! Lyceum 2015 was a great event. It is always refreshing to come back and be inspired and renewed. Additionally, it
is wonderful to see excited, passionate students who yearn to learn everything they can from seasoned D.C.s. As I observed and listened to them, I breathed a bit easier knowing the future of our profession is going to be in good hands. Their passion is palpable. It is obvious what they love, and I’m glad it’s the same thing I love. The Alumni Association embraces the passion of the students. We are currently in the process of creating a Student Alumni Association. This idea was born of many students asking if they, while they are still students, can become members of the association. Thanks to Jaime Browning, D.C., and Jennifer York, D.C., both of whom teach at Sherman, for stepping forward to create this. What better way to bridge the gap between student and practicing D.C. than through a common thread! Also, I am currently working to expand and revitalize the Mentor Program. There are many D.C.s out there who are a wealth of knowledge, and EVERYONE deserves the opportunity to benefit from their expertise if so desired. Please look for upcoming information concerning the Mentor Program and how you can get involved. What about chiropractic and being a chiropractor do you love? I hope that you can name a million and two things, and that even the thought of what you do brings a smile to your face. Now, of course, there are (continued on page 17)
Making Your Practice Work: Serving Others
The Power of Asking and Serving “Every spine needs a chiropractor.” If you concur with this statement, then you would agree that no matter the age or condition of the spine, and no matter how poor or wealthy one is, a spine is a spine, and a chiropractor should be part of every person’s health care team. This obviously would include pro athletes and entertainers. There are several ways to make yourself available to those who can’t conceivably make it to you or to your office. This may sometimes include traveling sports teams and rock stars, as well as the rich and famous. When it comes to getting an “in” as the chiropractic professional at sporting events or music concerts (entertainers), I suggest finding out the name of the key person who is in control of the “event health care team.” This person is usually an orthopedist or neurologist, and the crew of health care professionals is usually the same for every event at a particular venue. When you contact the person in charge, I recommend that you approach the situation with the following attitude and mindset: n
You are the lowest guy/gal on the ladder. Your services will be available in the corner of the room, and you
will not be saying a word or interfering with their protocol. You are simply there for those who want to be checked by a chiropractor. n
n
n
Since chiropractors are required to be licensed in each state, most athletes, sports teams and entertainers don’t travel with their own personal chiropractor. You are simply fulfilling a need and service from which they already benefit. You are providing chiropractic checks and adjustments, period. Nothing less and nothing more. Remember, the event health care team, team doctors, and other health professionals may not necessarily know what a chiropractor does. When you are providing the one and only service that others don’t provide, they will naturally lower their guard and become more willing to accept you and your service. Once you are accepted and invited to be part of the health care team, keep disciplined and don’t step over the line. It may take a few events, but the athletes, wrestlers and entertainers will soon become aware of your presence. Just don’t rush it or push it. In essence, your time will come.
by Regent David Steinberg, D.C. n
After you check, detect and make the necessary corrections to the athlete or entertainer, you need only to remind them who you are, what you do, and how you will be there for them in the future. I recommend giving them a special business card with your cell phone number, and letting them know they can contact you with any questions.
Another mindset and philosophy that I always apply is what I refer to as the “just ask” concept. Over the years I have been invited to political events, VIP parties and inside the personal houses of the rich and famous by “just asking.” This includes situations where I want to discuss a chiropractic agenda, and other times it relates to directly taking care of an individual. For example, when President Clinton came to Connecticut for a fundraiser, I contacted the event organizer and explained that I was the President of the Connecticut Chiropractic Council (CCC) and I wanted to discuss Medicare with the President of the United States. I figured there was no harm in asking. What happened as a result was extraordinary. (continued on page 17)

things that drag all of us down, but usually we accept them because we believe in what we do every day. If you can’t name why you do what you do, and what you love about it, and if your smile is gone, I encourage you to surround yourself with other D.C.s who can help you rekindle your love.
About 45 minutes prior to the fundraiser, another CCC Board Member and I were vetted by two Secret Service personnel, and then escorted to the green room. The President of the United States walked into the room and we discussed chiropractic, health equality and Medicare; among other things (I am smiling). So always remember to humbly offer yourself and your services and “just ask” – you never know where it may take you. Dr. David Steinberg has been in private practice at Hebron Family Chiropractic since 1998. He is the immediate past president of the Connecticut Chiropractic Council, a lifetime member of the ICA and a Sherman Regent. He can be reached at steinbergdc@mail.com.
“We met these fine students on that trip,” Irwin says, “and Dr. Luo worked tirelessly to arrange this visit. The students are in the dual-language program at SEU and were eager to experience Sherman’s classes and learn more about chiropractic.” The five exchange students attend the medical college at SEU, a seven-year program including five years of general medicine and two years of clinical internship at a 2,000-bed hospital. In year six, the students choose their specialties. SEU’s dual-language program has a smaller student-teacher ratio and conducts most of its teaching and tests in English. “Sherman students are very passionate and friendly,” the students agreed, “so we wanted to visit and get training here.” The group acclimated well and attended basic science classes and technique courses including Full Spine and Palpation. The exchange students benefited from some American study processes like flash cards, notebooks and student planners. “Students here have a specific schedule and can separate time for study and time for rest,” they said. “They study very hard and have good time management skills.”

They described the chiropractic curriculum as “different from learning in med school but a little similar to traditional Chinese medicine” in that both are non-invasive and based on philosophy. “Western medicine is based on clues or evidence, but chiropractic has a very special philosophy and science,” they said.
Or better yet, contact Sherman College and get involved in one of their programs that connect D.C.s to prospective or current students. What you love and what you love to do are inside of you… let it radiate from you. Reconnect with it. I am grateful to be a part of the Sherman family. I continue to look forward to the ways in which we all can grow in ourselves and in our profession. “Do what you love. Love what you do.” Peace.

Transforming Education with the
Apple Initiative by Director of Teaching and Learning Billie Harrington, Ph.D.
“I absolutely love and support the idea of having lab material and resources online so we can review, relearn, and just have a reference for tests. Studying the online videos of models and cadavers helped me greatly during the test today, and hopefully that will be reflected in the grade since I felt more prepared.” — Third quarter anatomy student

SHERMAN
Sherman College of Chiropractic is committed to intertwining the latest technologies into the philosophy, art and science of chiropractic education, moving strategically to establish Sherman as the pre-eminent chiropractic program in the nation and globally. For some time now, the question posed for institutions of higher education has been: how might we maintain our programmatic integrity while joining the force of those incorporating the latest technologies into teaching and learning? The college recognizes the field of chiropractic, like many sister disciplines, must align with this paradigm shift of incorporating current technologies of the field while maintaining the philosophical core values of our programs. For this reason, the administrative team sought to establish collaborative efforts with Apple Education professionals to blend advanced technology into our chiropractic curriculum. This process began with a review of data from student satisfaction surveys regarding the use of technology in the classroom followed by an assessment of faculty members’ current use and skills/ comfort with using technology in teaching
and learning, ultimately leading to establishing professional development programming to enhance their skills, knowledge and use of technology in the classroom. The driving force for this program is to support an engaging and interactive learning and teaching environment focused on student success. For instance, in a society where nearly every college student has a smartphone, Sherman professors can leverage this technology, paired with one of many polling apps, to create an engaging activity to propel their course content to a higher level. With iPad in hand and one of many “whiteboard” applications, a professor can decimate the plethora of limitations associated with traditional boards and markers. This technology will introduce access to hundreds of applications to enhance the current body of knowledge in our classroom instruction. For example, the Essential Anatomy 5 application, used over 1.1 million times per month by the top universities in the world, provides faculty and students with incredibly stunning visuals for use in classroom teaching and reference
“Using Apple technology has been awesome in the lab. Dr. Kenya used his iPad to show the structures of the cadavers. We were able to split into two groups – one group was at the cadaver, and the other group stayed at the table by the TV. It made it so much easier to see the structures.” — First quarter anatomy student material for students. This application and many other technologies bring the material “to life” for students and thus creates a rich learning experience inside and out of the classroom setting. Another application, Explain Everything, creates a virtual whiteboard that professors can save and share with students. Imagine a faculty member creating a diagram, labeling items and writing pertinent notes on the whiteboard during class. Now imagine it happening in a digital framework, where the images and the lesson are “captured” and shared, then viewed and studied later as needed. Through the college’s learning management system, Schoology, and apps like Explain Everything, students will be able to access what they need to study 24/7, and they will have access to media-rich material, not just text notes or a simple PowerPoint. By developing a strong foundation with faculty use of technology in teaching and learning, the long-range vision at Sherman College of Chiropractic is to create an interactive learning community
through the adoption of a one-to-one iPad program in which each faculty member and student has his or her own device for daily use. This program will serve as a framework for enhancing current course content and maximizing students’ access to the course material beyond traditional lecture-based learning. Many studies show the positive measurable effects of teaching and learning through the adoption of a one-to-one iPad program, from K-12 education to institutions of higher education. Technological advances in teaching and learning have also served to shrink the chasm between faculty and students, thereby shifting traditional sterile classroom settings to more interactive learning environments where the best and brightest are free to engage in a sharing of knowledge facilitated by the professor. The Sherman College Apple Initiative will serve as the crossroads where we chose to connect technology with the philosophy, art, and science of chiropractic to prepare our students for even greater success in a technologically advanced global society.
Early Adopter: Charles Kenya, D.C. Assistant Professor of Clinical Sciences Charles Kenya, D.C., was one of the first faculty members to embrace Apple technology in the classroom: specifically, the use of iPads in the anatomy lab. “We use the screen in the anatomy lab so we all don’t have to gather over one cadaver,” Kenya explains of the practical applications of the iPad in his Anatomy III Lab course. “The iPad has been the greatest adventure for us in the lab.” He also records lectures and posts them on Schoology for student review with great feedback and appreciation from students. “They can access the videos easily anywhere. One student put it well: ‘It makes learning gross anatomy fun.’” As a faculty mentor and a leader in the college’s Student Success Program, Kenya also recognizes the value of supporting the curriculum with new tools. “Incorporating this technology makes it easier for students who need some extra reinforcement to go back and review lectures from the lab,” he explains.

Against the Odds Sherman Achieves Impressive Growth in a Flat Market Sherman College of Chiropractic’s enrollment has nearly doubled over the past four years – an impressive accomplishment in a market where overall chiropractic college enrollment has remained flat for more than a decade. According to data from the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS), profession-wide enrollment since 2010 has declined 1.1 percent; Sherman College’s enrollment during that same time period, however, has seen an 88 percent increase.
“We have worked tirelessly to grow the college for the benefit of the profession,” said Sherman President Edwin Cordero, D.C. “As Sherman College continues to grow and expand, our contributions to our profession and our city, state, nation and the world will increase significantly.” PAGE 20

SHERMAN
“Growth allows us to further spread Sherman College’s commitment to principled chiropractic and our vision of adjusting the world for a better future,” Cordero said. “This is how we will improve and elevate the well-being of people around the world: through the correction of vertebral subluxations.”
Building Enrollment With Referrals
Referrals remain the college’s largest resource for incoming students; 43 percent of those who enrolled last year were referred by a doctor of chiropractic in the field. Sherman College’s Reach Out And Recruit (ROAR) Program is designed for just this purpose: to encourage field doctors to mentor and inspire the next generation. Under the direction of Jillian Kersh, D.C., the program has doubled its membership during the past two-and-a-half years.
ROAR doctors encourage future chiropractors by displaying career materials in their offices and mentoring students in their area by offering shadow opportunities and support. In addition, they serve as leaders in the community and reach more people by representing Sherman College at career events and school fairs near their homes and practices.
A Strong Recruiting Program
Another factor contributing to the college’s recent growth is its work to build a strong recruiting program. The college’s domestic recruiters and director of Hispanic and presidential initiatives maintain aggressive travel schedules, representing the college at professional conferences, state conventions, college fairs, clubs, dinners with the president and more. Recruiters visited 26 states
and three countries last year, as well as 13 state and chiropractic conventions.
Getting DCs2B to Campus
Recruiting events and activities are designed to move prospective students to the next step of visiting campus, further strengthening the recruiters’ relationships with future students. College data shows that the campus visit is a key factor in a student’s decision to enroll. In fact, in 2014, 51 percent of applicants attended an event or participated in a tour. Further, 84 percent of students who ultimately enrolled at Sherman College attended a college event or took a personal tour. In 2014, the college revamped its signature visit event, now known as Showcase Sherman Weekend. To date, nearly one in four students attending a Showcase Sherman event in 2014 have enrolled.
Strengthening Online Presence
Growth also comes in more modern forms of communication and recruitment, thanks to the college’s focus on expanding efforts in responsive web design, social media, search engine optimization and other online campaigns. Given the rise of mobile and tablet usage, the college revamped its website last year, selecting a responsive design to give users easy access to all the information on the site, regardless of the device they use. In addition, the college maintains active profiles on social networking sites such as Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and others, enabling personnel to interact with prospective students, alumni, current students and friends. Social media helps the college share news and promote enrollment goals and events, community service projects, Health Center promotions, alumni and continuing education programs and more. The college also developed a series of recruitment videos on YouTube emphasizing Sherman’s focus on principled chiropractic, its dedication to individual attention for students, and its promise to provide an education that delivers the satisfaction of helping others through a fulfilling and in-demand career.
Showcase Sherman is a two-day campus visit event held quarterly for prospective students to explore chiropractic and Sherman College. The weekend is designed to ignite a passion for leadership and help students begin their pursuit of becoming the next generation of DCs2B. Guests meet current students, faculty and staff; tour campus and the Spartanburg area; have transcripts evaluated and hear top speakers.
Meet Jillian Kersh, D.C. Building Reach Out and Recruit Territory and events hosted/attended: I have traveled primarily in the southeastern U.S. and Michigan and have worked at graduate school fairs, state conventions, classroom lectures, club presentations and alumni dinners. Favorite events to host: My favorite events are college club presentations because I’m able to do a hands-on palpation lesson in addition to talking philosophy and sharing my love for Sherman College with prospective students. Most rewarding part of the job: I have connected with Reach Out And Recruit (ROAR) members and former classmates while I travel across the country – they make every trip memorable! I have enjoyed working with ROAR members to inspire the next generation of our profession.
Travel tips and tricks: Bring an empty water bottle with you in your personal item – it’ll get through security, and all airports have filling stations so you won’t have to pay $3 for a water! Longest stretch on the road: Once I was on the road 39 of 45 days, visited 11 states, attended 27 recruitment events, dropped by seven ROAR offices and spent weekends with friends along the way!

I love watching the light bulb turn on when students are educated about chiropractic. Many even ask, ‘But it is so simple; how can it be so simple?’ I truly love that a-ha moment. Even if those people never decide to become chiropractors I know I have affected their perceptions of my profession, and often their fates, because they begin to see a chiropractor. — Jennifer Jones, D.C.

Meet Jennifer Jones, D.C. Domestic Recruiter
Executive Vice President Neil Cohen, D.C., on Recruitment
Territory and events hosted/attended: I attend college, graduate, health and career fairs [on the east coast] because in these situations, students are looking for the next step. They come prepared with questions about the college and are open to learning about chiropractic.
What’s different about Sherman College’s approach to recruiting? Sherman is a chiropractic college with a heart for all who attend. We are not just an institution; we are a family with a reputation of caring, not only about the student experience, but also the future success of our students, which ultimately ensures the protection of invaluable chiropractic principle. We are proud of the personal touch that Sherman provides.
Favorite type of event to host: Hosting a dinner or student club is an event that I love to do because you have a captive audience. It is an intimate setting to speak to students about chiropractic and Sherman. They have many opportunities to ask questions. This is vital, because there are often people who are interested but do not know what to ask. Most rewarding part of the job: I love watching the light bulb turn on when prospective students are educated about chiropractic. Many even ask, “But it is so simple; how can it be so simple?” I truly love that a-ha moment. Even if those people never decide to become chiropractors, I know I have affected their perceptions of my profession, and often their fates, because they begin to see a chiropractor. I also love calling students I recruited to tell them they have been accepted to Sherman College. The excitement in the students’ voices make my day. Travel tips and tricks: Find a chain of hotels that you like and continue to book with them. This way you know how their systems work, and even while on the road in a multitude of places, you have familiarity and a sense of home. Research food before your trip. There are so many wonderful restaurants that take just a bit of research.
What’s your role in recruiting? My role is to grow the college in a way that focuses less on volume and more on influence. What I mean is, Sherman College does not necessarily need to be the largest chiropractic institution, but we certainly desire to have the largest influence on the profession by continuing to recruit and graduate the most principled and successful chiropractors in the world. I love sharing the mission and vision of the college with prospective students and colleagues to ignite a passion for chiropractic, which I believe is the greatest and most fulfilling profession in the world.
Senior Director of Admissions Kristy Shepherd, M.A., on the Changing Admissions Landscape
Meet the students
How has the admission process changed since you’ve been at Sherman? I think every college experiences ebbs and flows in resources, staffing and strategies over the years. What I value most about the admission process at Sherman is our consistent emphasis on building relationships with our students. The best part of my job is seeing a student complete the journey from prospect to graduate! How has the Showcase Sherman program impacted the campus visit? Showcase Sherman Weekends are a onestop shop for prospective students. We created an event that has all the components prospective students need to decide if Sherman is the right school for them. How do current students help? Student Ambassadors are instrumental to the success of our Showcase Sherman Weekends. Prospective students appreciate the ability to connect with current students, and we give them plenty of opportunities to do so during their visits. What role does technology play? I can’t give away all our secrets, but we do use an instant chat service on our website. We also have an e-brochure for students who don’t need or want a traditional viewbook mailed to their homes.

How did you find out about Sherman? I attended a career talk at UNCC. While he was a student, Eric Goans, D.C., spoke to my class at UNCC. I stayed to talk with him, and he became an immediate mentor. Now I’ve taken over his role with the student ROAR program.
Why did you choose Sherman College? It was more like Sherman chose me. I attended a graduate fair at Benedict, and the admissions officer [Senior Director of Enrollment Kristy Shepherd] remembered exactly who I was, even though it had been years between when I met her and when I actually enrolled. That meant a lot to me.
What makes Sherman different? I was impressed with how Sherman always remembered my name; I liked the family atmosphere, and I felt like part of the school before I even started. During Lyceum, I saw the passion of the staff and students. What do you look forward to about graduating and getting into practice? I’d like to be a representative of the school. I want to graduate and say, “This is what Sherman has done for me.” I want to be a great reflection of Sherman. I want to teach the principle we’ve learned in school to the public. It goes against the norm but it’s the truth, and I want to express that.
What are you enjoying most in school? I’m perfecting an art and skill that can help improve others’ quality of life. What has been your biggest challenge during chiropractic college? My biggest challenge while being in chiropractic college is developing the ability to adapt to new people, environments, challenges and routines. What do you look forward to about graduating and getting into practice? I look forward to giving people a quality, non-invasive option for improving their health and lifestyle.

Why chiropractic, and why Sherman? I truly feel that chiropractic chose me. My deepest desire is to act as a conduit for people to realize their most fundamental nature. Chiropractic is a very tangible way to do that. I feel Sherman is the one school in the world that’s rooted in the true principles of chiropractic. Once I came and felt how alive chiropractic was here, there was no other choice for me. How did you find out about Sherman? Daniel and Rachel Knowles, D.C.s, originally spoke to me about Sherman. Once I decided to attend chiropractic college, two of the most important people to me on this path of chiropractic (Jan and Tracey Kirschner, D.C.s) spoke to me about Sherman and its history in supporting straight, principled chiropractic. What was your biggest challenge on the journey to chiropractic college? The journey to chiropractic college was an intense one for me. I had the undeniable urge to visit Sherman only two months before I was to start another program. I was so impacted by my visit to Sherman that I chose to drive by myself across the country with all of my belongings to attend Sherman the next quarter available.

What makes Sherman different? Sherman has the reputation for graduating the best adjusters because we focus on adjusting the spine to remove subluxations. Besides the philosophy and the reputation, Sherman has an incredible support system. Everyone is so willing to help, from admissions to students to the president and everyone in between. Sherman has a way of making strangers family and everyone feel loved. How did you find out about Sherman? I was referred by ROAR doctor and trustee Peter Kevorkian, D.C. I always knew I wanted to help people, and I love working with my hands. It took me a while to find out how I could use those things together. What advice would you give prospective chiropractic students? Think of all the reasons you love chiropractic and what you think chiropractic is, and write it down. I wish I would have written things down so that when I graduate I could really see how much I will have grown. What do you look forward to most? I am looking forward to introducing more people to chiropractic and seeing their worlds change like mine did.
The founders and developers of our great profession held such reverence for the correction of vertebral subluxation to honor all that is known and unknown in the physiology. The gift they offered the world was a new paradigm and another level of thinking. They appreciated the limitations of what we know (our circle). And they knew that as we enlarged our circle, the fundamental ideals of our profession would remain intact. It is the goal of Sherman College of Chiropractic to carry on this reverence. The college ensures that its graduates are trained and are highly skilled in the analysis and specific correction of vertebral subluxations. The Board of Trustees, President Cordero, the administrative team, faculty and staff are committed to supporting the collective ideals of the 33 principles of chiropractic and the traditional values that built this profession. 1Epistemology:
the theory of knowledge, especially with regard to its methods, validity, and scope. Epistemology is the investigation of what distinguishes justified belief from opinion.

2014 Honor Roll of Donors
$80,000 Scholarship Fund Honors Beane Family’s Humanitarianism, Pioneering Spirit A new scholarship at Sherman College has been created to honor a couple’s long-time support of the college and assist students who have demonstrated a high level of commitment to serving humanity as a doctor of chiropractic. The $80,000 Beane Family Scholarship Fund honors the Beane Family of LeGrand, IA, specifically Dr. Ercil and Maxine Beane, long-time supporters of Sherman College, and their children, David, Daniel, Marian, Dr. Evan and Dr. Joel. “This scholarship honors the memory of Dr. Ercil and Maxine Beane, their love of chiropractic and their pioneering spirit in introducing chiropractic to a global community,” said Sherman College President Edwin Cordero, D.C. “Sherman College is proud to honor the family’s commitment to the profession and our shared vision of bringing chiropractic to the world.” Dr. Ercil Beane was the developer/director of Live Research Clinic Centers and traveled extensively with Maxine to countries in Africa, Asia, Central America and the Middle East, demonstrating and promoting the profession to people who had no knowledge of the chiropractic healing art. Together they recruited and supported young people from those countries to study chiropractic, many of them attending Sherman College. To recognize their love and support for the college and to honor their humanitarian chiropractic work at home and abroad, the college presented Ercil and Maxine with one of its earliest Honorary Doctor of Chiropractic Humanities Degrees in 1979. Charles and Amilliah Kenya, D.C.s, now faculty members at Sherman College, say they owe their chiropractic journey to the Beane family. The couple first met Dan and Sarah Beane in 1999 in Kenya, and later, Ercil and Maxine in 2001 during a mission trip to Legrand, IA. “We had never heard about chiropractic,” Charles said. “We received our first chiropractic adjustment from Joel Beane and later from Evan Beane.” It was Ercil Beane who introduced them to the philosophy of chiropractic. “I do not know of any time I met Dr. Ercil that we ended the conversation without talking chiropractic,” Charles explained. “It was his mission to spread chiropractic to the world. He lived, ate, slept and breathed chiropractic. Be it at the dining table, working in the field or relaxing beside the lake, Dr. Ercil always found a way to include chiropractic philosophy into the discussion. His passion was unsurpassed.” The Beane Family Scholarship Fund was established with gifts from Dr. Ercil and Mrs. Maxine Beane and interest on those funds totaling approximately $80,000. Additional gifts from any donor appropriately designated to this fund, including estate gifts, shall be added to the corpus. As an endowed fund, the principal remains invested while earnings can be used to award scholarships. Recipients of the scholarship must be enrolled in Clinic I or above at Sherman College and demonstrate financial need. PAGE 32

Get Creative with Your Giving to Sherman There are more ways to give than gifting cash. Get creative as you consider how you can help and provide for the future of Sherman College. For instance, you can give appreciated property such as stocks, bonds or real estate. When stocks, bonds, mutual funds, real estate, and other appreciated assets are sold, tax is due on any capital gain. But you can avoid or delay the capital gains tax by making a charitable gift of the property. Sherman College is a 501 (c) 3 non-profit institution, and your gifts are tax deductible. The combined benefits of bypassing tax on the capital gain, receiving an income tax deduction, and making a charitable gift can be very gratifying. Please consult with your accountant or tax advisor to explore how giving appreciated property can benefit both you and a non-profit institution like Sherman. For more ideas on giving to Sherman, please visit https://www.sherman.edu/give/legacy/. SHERMAN

Michigan Chiropractic Foundation Scholarship The Michigan Chiropractic Foundation established an endowed scholarship fund for Sherman College students from Michigan with an initial donation of $5,500 and plans to donate $5,500 per year until the fund reaches an amount which will produce enough earnings to award scholarships in perpetuity. Additionally, the foundation donated $1,500 to be awarded this year. The Michigan Chiropractic Foundation is making these gifts to benefit students from Michigan who plan to return to Michigan to practice chiropractic. An endowment fund is one in which the principal donation is invested and only the earnings or a portion of the earnings can be spent. In this case, the Michigan Chiropractic Foundation wanted to start an endowed scholarship, but also wanted to start awarding scholarships to Sherman students immediately. To accomplish this, it made two donations, one to be invested and one to be awarded this year. PAGE 36

Legacy Gifts Are Welcomed, Appreciated At Sherman College we appreciate those who think seriously about the future of the college and the profession and include Sherman in their wills or estate plans. Legacy gifts have a tremendous impact on future generations of students. If you and your spouse or partner are so inclined, we welcome your future gift with gratitude. Including Sherman in your will or estate planning is as easy as informing your family and lawyer of your wishes. Some leave a set amount to be gifted to the college, others determine a set percentage of their final estate to be gifted. All planned gifts are appreciated. Please let us know your intentions so that we can include you among the members of our Legacy Society or list you as anonymous if you prefer.
