First Clinic Challenge Experience on the new ropes course

  CCX Logo 6

On October 2-3, Sherman's rising interns completed the inaugural Clinic Challenge Experience (CCX), a two-day event held on the new low ropes course and in the classroom. CCX is designed to help students make a successful transition from classroom to chiropractic internship by sharpening their professional focus, energizing their passion for chiropractic and exposing them to success principles for practice.

Most of the event took place on our brand-new low ropes course on campus, which was made possible by a grant from the Straight Chiropractic Education and Research Foundation. The experience helps reinforce the value of teamwork and encourage students to build strong bonds with their teammates and the members of the health center faculty.

Here's what some students said about the Clinic Challenge Experience:

"The experience is an awesome way to build team morale and school spirit. The key is to be open and willing to let go of your comfort zone so that you can walk away with unlimited potential to succeed, knowing that a little effort can mean big success."
~Carolyn Beaty (left)

"The clinic challenge provided a stepping stone into clinic, giving us a chance to unify our quarter and get excited about clinic."

"The clinic challenge was a wonderful opportunity to get to know and work with the clinic doctors before entering clinic. I now feel comfortable asking questions and talking through problems with the case doctors in the health center."
~ Darby Lyles (leading the line)

Checking out the merchandise

Lyceum gave The Chicago Three the perfect opportunity to check out the outdoor amphitheater they so generously provided for the college! From left are Gary Roeben, President Jon Schwartzbauer, Brian Rutecki and Sam Wang.

Whew!

Well, the Gordon and Helen Brown Plaza was completed the day before Lyceum, just in time! Many of you had the chance to see it during Lyceum, but here's a look at something you didn't see -- VP for Business/Finance Tim Revels celebrating the project's completion by jumping in the fountain the day before the big event. Well, I guess somebody had to test the waters.

Thanks to NCMIC and The Chicago Three!

Back in March we presented a couple options for "Making Your Mark on the Plaza." Now it's time to say a word of thanks to those who DID!

NCMIC has made this soon-to-be-lovely fountain possible!

And do you remember the alums we affectionately call "The Chicago Three" -- Drs. Gary Roeben, Brian Rutecki and Sam Wang? They've given us this great amphitheater!

With the wireless internet that will be available, plus plenty of places to relax and enjoy the great South Carolina weather, I foresee these two plaza features being greatly appreciated!
