Though he has about a month to go before his June 13 graduation, Matthew is taking an early retirement from blogging. Aside from his regular schedule of activities -- intern duties, x-ray internship program duties, volunteer time at the local nursing home, class responsibilities and studying -- he's also busy preparing for graduation AND Part IV of the National Board Exams. If you ask any Sherman student, they'll tell you that’s enough to keep two or three people "in the weeds."
So in the tradition we’ve created for departing bloggers, Lisa (VP for enrollment) and I (Karen, director of public relations) are bidding him a fond farewell on his blog.
Matthew is a little different -- and, of course, I mean that in the nicest way possible! What I mean is, Matthew (like Jaime) arrived at Sherman in a different way than most of our other bloggers. While he knew all about chiropractic before he came to Sherman, Matthew first set foot on campus as an employee. From 2003 -2005, he traveled the eastern seaboard as an admission representative and career counselor.

As you might gather, he was a pretty good rep for us, as he recruited himself and enrolled in the college’s winter 2006 incoming class. Even as a student, though, Matthew never forgot his Admission Office co-workers, always willing to help out with tours and special events.

Now that he’s graduating, we’re going to miss having Matthew around... after all, he’s been here in one capacity or another for about six years. We’ll miss his antics and jokes too. But we are also very happy for him, and we’ll be proud to call him an alumnus!
So congratulations, Matthew -- Vaya con Dios!

I love it! Thank you guys! You're too kind.
