Students in the Sherman College

This event was an opportunity for the Ambassadors to work with Sherman College consultant Rico Pena of Pena Global, participating in team-building activities that focused on knowing each other’s strengths and acknowledging their weaknesses. The team's listening skills and ability to give instructions were tested in numerous activities throughout the night (

The purpose of the training was for the Ambassadors to apply these skills during prospective student tours, Showcase Sherman Weekend, and ultimately in life, especially once each and every member becomes a practicing doctor of chiropractic.

Ambassador Spotlight:
Molly Spohn from Liberty, IN
Why Chiropractic:
I grew up in a medical model and had been accepted into a physician assistant program after graduation [from my undergraduate program]. I randomly met a Sherman College student at a pool one day who told me the wonderful philosophy and science behind chiropractic.
Having worked as a CNA, I knew the medical model was flawed, and I was thrilled to hear about an outlet to help people that did not simply cover up symptoms. I knew this was my calling, and I could not be more excited to be a part of such a wholesome, positive profession.
Why Sherman:
After being called to chiropractic, I began touring schools to see my options. Something about Sherman just felt right. Every interaction I had made me feel like I was at home.

Health Center Collaborates with Homeless Period Project
The Health Center has collaborated with
The Homeless Period Project
(HPP) to become one of its Spartanburg drop-off locations. HPP provides feminine hygiene products to homeless women, women in
poverty and school-aged girls who may not have access to these products.
According to HPP, feminine
products are the least donated products to homeless shelters. HPP takes donated products and assembles them into “period packs” that are distributed to homeless shelters, food banks, schools and other organizations for women and girls in the Upstate.
