Here’s to a great Lyceum 2008!
Sherman College’s annual homecoming is almost here! We call it Lyceum, a term which originated in ancient Greece. The Greek Lyceum was a school of philosophy founded by Aristotle near the city of Athens in 335 B.C. Its purpose was to serve as a center for discussion, debate, reflection and study.
I would like to encourage all prospective chiropractic students and their families to attend Lyceum and Career Day at Sherman College. It’s a great opportunity to visit the college, tour the campus, meet the faculty and students, and listen to some really great chiropractor speakers. In a nutshell, Lyceum is a weekend full of fun events and valuable learning opportunities.
I have attended Lyceum for the past fourteen years and always look forward to it. There’s an almost tangible excitement in the air during Lyceum. I enjoy catching up with old friends, visiting with recent graduates and talking with prospective students.
I matriculated to Sherman in 1990 and graduated in 1994. While in school I became interested in chiropractic radiography and excelled in my x-ray classes. After graduation I was offered the position of X-ray Department Director. X-ray images are fascinating and can provide us with a lot of useful information about the patient and the bony misalignment component of their vertebral subluxations.
I usually host at least one Lyceum program on the topic of radiology each year. This year I will be presenting a tutorial seminar on x-ray analysis using digital radiography. Digital x-ray is rapidly becoming the standard for radiography and radiographic facilities around the country. I am very proud that Sherman College possesses this technology and can offer this technology to its students and patients. If you are interested in learning more about digital x-ray or about Sherman College in general, be sure to attend my presentation or just look me up while you’re here on campus.

I started running last winter. My first race, The Frost Bite Run, was a 5K, which I actually finished. Most races, as I have come to learn, have great snacks for the runners. This particular race gives each runner who finishes a big chocolate chip cookie. Ah, here is motivation I can get excited about! My training mantra was, “I’m running for the cookie!” And it was a good cookie!!!
