Success Author Presents at Sherman

I ran into alumnus Steve Cagen on campus Tuesday morning. He was here to guest lecture in Bill Decken’s communication class. Cagen is well-known for his presentations on being successful and having fun in your practice. In fact, he had a few copies of his recently published book, How to Run a Really Cool Practice and Make a Really Big Profit, which he donated to the college library. (Thanks Steve!)

Sherman enjoys having graduates come back into the classroom to share their stories and their success with students. I was happy to see that Dr. Cagen was one of the guest lecturers this quarter. I have always found him to be a positive, fun-loving and successful person who is willing to share his knowledge and attitude with those of us just learning to be as cool as he is.

Alumni and students attending Lyceum will also get a chance to hear Cagen’s pearls of wisdom when they attend his presentation scheduled for Friday afternoon, May 28. He will also be found in the exhibitors area during Lyceum where he will have a table with his new book and other success materials.

Amazing Race Comes to Sherman College Campus

Playing off the hit TV reality show The Amazing Race, Sherman College’s Quality Enhancement Program Team came up with a winner for helping our students do better on National Board Exams.

Sherman’s Amazing Race happened on campus last week. Read more about the event and the Quality Enhancement Program in this article in the Spartanburg Herald Journal: Sherman team uses 'Amazing Race' to simulate exams

Blogging about Bloggers

I had a few minutes to surf the Sherman website today and took a look at the weblogs of some of our students. I admit I don’t always take the time to see what they are writing about so I was pleasantly surprised at the quality.

Here are a few topics I though alumni might enjoy reading.

I’m sure every alum remembers the hike up cardiac hill to get to classes. See what Sem Holl0way says about “walking up the hill.”

Remember the rush of giving your first adjustment? Here is what Holly will always remember about her experience.

Pittsburgher Paul Polak misses eating pierogies and tries to make them. I grew up near Pittsburgh and enjoyed that particular entry. See if Paul was successful by clicking here.

Meghan Luttrell grew up in a chiropractic family and instead of thinking she knows it all, still sees the value in shadowing other chiropractors in their offices. Read about her experiences over spring break.

I’m glad to know that Jersey girl Stephanie Johnston will be moving to Houston after graduation. We need more alumni in Texas so I can make better referrals there. See what she thinks about her future home by clicking here.

I hope you’ll take a few minutes to check out one of these blogs and leave a comment for a student so they know you’re out there reading. That will really mean a lot to these aspiring DCs. And I think you will enjoy exploring our blogs. While you're reading the student blogs you'll see which faculty and staff are blogging as well. Look at the list of bloggers along the right hand column on the blog. As always, have fun!
