Summer at Sherman

Here’s a guest post from student Jillian Kersh:

While most colleges are on the semester or trimester system, here at Sherman we are on the quarter system. This means that we basically go to school year round (yuck!). Everyone looks forward to summer break, because we have a three-week vacation! Well, I guess some of us do.

Once you start seeing patients in the clinic, you really don’t get a summer break. If you need to see your patient once a week, you can’t just leave them for three weeks! So, the majority of Health Center interns stay to see patients over summer vacation. A couple of the Health Center faculty, staff, and students decided we need to have a little bit of fun while we were here for our vacation…so we planned a potluck! 

Now, part of the reason I choose Sherman was because it has a very family-like atmosphere. Today is a perfect example of that. Students, faculty and staff enjoyed a feast of all sorts of incredible food and fantastic fellowship. The intimate setting of Sherman is definitely what sets it apart from the rest!

Jillian Kersh is a 13^th quarter student at Sherman College and an intern in the on-campus Chiropractic Health Center. You can reach her at jmkersh@shermancollege.net.

Career Day Recap and Slideshow

The Enrollment Services Team considered Career Day 2009 a big success! We added several new sessions including an alumni presentation, student panel discussion and Showcase Spartanburg – which allowed students to talk to representatives from area businesses and learn about the Spartanburg area and its attractions. As usual, our prospective students also went on a campus tour that included the Anatomy Lab and Health Center where they participated in spinal screenings and viewed our digital X-ray suite. Here is a slideshow from some of the pictures we took at Career Day. Couldn't make it this year? Consider coming to our Pride of Sherman Tour in November. More details to come!!

Banners

We are busy preparing the campus for Lyceum and Career Day (you still have time to register, BTW, if you are interested in coming), and we are very pleased with our new banners on the lamp posts in the Student Plaza.  They are also all around downtown Spartanburg for the festivities there!

LOVE THEM!

Coming Soon!

Those of you who follow me on Facebook or Twitter know that over the last two months we have been working on a new on-line video for Sherman College.  It will act as our virtual tour and show students and visitors to our site what it is really like to be a student at Sherman College.

It is not completely finished yet, although it will be soon, but I wanted to give my blog readers a little "sneak peak" at some scenes from the video... don't worry- I will be sure to let you know when it is LIVE!!!

Farewell Matthew....

We so excited to say goodbye to Matthew!!  Because it means that very soon, he will be graduating from Sherman College and heading out into the world to change the lives of countless people....

Matthew is special to us- we have known him now for a long time and we will truly miss his smiling face and quick wit...but we are so proud of him and everything he has worked so hard for is finally happening for him.

So, we wish him luck....and hope that he comes back to visit from time to time....if you want to wish him well, please stop by his blog (Karen also wrote a message to him), and let him know!!

It's not too late.....

Travels near and far....

I just returned from a trip to New England for the Massachusetts Chiropractic Society's Spring Convention in Westford, MA and it was a great trip.  I got to see several Sherman alums and visit a few schools and had a very nice time.  It is great to sometimes get out of the office and talk to people in a different setting!

I have also been visiting many of our alums in South Carolina and that has been fun, too.  I plan to visit a few more next week.

Our students are on break this week, so that means some quiet time here, but also an excellent opportunity to get a lot of work done!  And we have been working HARD!  Everyone comes back on Monday and Tuesday, and I look forward to hearing all about their spring breaks!

In the news.....

Sherman has enjoyed some great local press lately… check out a few of the headlines below.
