Sherman College Awarded 2014 Military Friendly Schools ® Designation

 

Victory Media has named Sherman College of Chiropractic to the coveted Military Friendly Schools® list, a designation given to the top 20 percent of colleges, universities and trade schools in the country doing the most to embrace America’s military service members, veterans, and spouses as students and ensure their success on campus. Victory Media is the premier media entity for military personnel transitioning into civilian life.

A U.S. Navy veteran, Sherman College President Dr. Edwin Cordero said the Military Friendly Schools® designation has special meaning to him. “Sherman College has a tremendous opportunity to serve and honor our military service members who give so much to our country,” Dr. Cordero said. “We are eager to reach more military members and share with them a health care career that embraces their commitment to serving others. I think it is especially fitting, since Sherman College of Chiropractic holds service to others as a major component of its mission.”

Sean Collins, vice president at Victory Media and a nine-year Navy veteran explained the significance of the designation. “Inclusion on the 2014 list of Military Friendly Schools® shows Sherman College’s commitment to providing a supportive environment for military students,” he said. “The need for education is growing, and our mission is to provide the military community with transparent, world-class resources to assist in their search for schools.”

The Military Friendly Schools® media and website (www.militaryfriendlyschools.com) feature the list, interactive tools and search functionality to help military students find the best school to suit their needs and preferences. The 1,868 educational institutions on this year’s list exhibit leading practices in the recruitment and retention of students with military experience. These schools have outstanding programs and policies for student support on campus, academic accreditation, credit policies, flexibility and other services to those who served.

Now in its fifth year, the 2014 list of Military Friendly Schools ® was compiled through extensive research and a data-driven survey of more than 10,000 schools nationwide approved for VA tuition funding. The survey results that comprise the 2014 list were independently tested by Ernst & Young LLP based upon the weightings and methodology established by Victory Media. Each year schools taking the survey are held to a higher standard than the previous year via improved methodology, criteria and weightings developed with the assistance of an Academic Advisory Board (AAB) consisting of educators from schools across the country.

A full story and detailed list of 2014 Military Friendly Schools® will be highlighted in the annual Guide to Military Friendly Schools ®, distributed in print and digital format to hundreds of thousands of active and former military personnel in early October.

College Town Service Initiative brings students together

Seven institutions, City present 9th annual CSI on Saturday, April 14

 

SPARTANBURG, S.C. – Hundreds of students from Spartanburg’s seven colleges and universities will come together to make Spartanburg a better place on Saturday, April 14, as they participate in the ninth annual “CSI: College Town Service Initiative,” providing services to about a dozen service agencies around the community.

“The goal of CSI is for students to work with community organizations and students from other colleges with whom they may not normally have contact, and that they will come away more invested in the Spartanburg community,” Rogers Brandt, College Town coordinator says. “What begins with a few Saturday hours of hard work for agencies that need the help often becomes a lifelong commitment to serving the community.”

This year, students will be doing work for these agencies:

• Christmas In Action – Making lunches for volunteers and helping at specific home sites for the agency
• The Shepherd’s Door – Gathering food donations at The Fresh Market and Sam’s Club
• Clifton Cemetery (located on Cherry Hill Road/State Road 817 off East Main Street past Zion Hill Road) – Maintenance and litter pick up
• Camp Mary Elizabeth – Landscaping and maintenance
• Hollywild Animal Park
• Children’s ReStore Center
• Spartanburg Humane Society --- Making dog toys and caring for animals
• Palmetto Hearts 5k Run (Duncan Park)
• SPACE (Spartanburg Area Conservancy)
• Northwest Recreation Center (710 Saxon Ave.) -- Painting

The day for students participating in CSI will begin at 8:30 a.m. in the Andrews Field House at Wofford College, with a light breakfast. Students who registered by April 5 will receive their T-shirts; others will receive shirts on a first-come basis. 

Chris Steed, CEO and president of the United Way of the Piedmont, will give the opening remarks beginning at 9 a.m. Then, students will go out in groups to work on their projects from 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.  They will return to the Andrews Field House at Wofford for reflection on their work and impact, followed by lunch in the Burwell Dining Hall.

CSI is a project of the College Town consortium, a collaboration of the City of Spartanburg and the institutions of higher education in Spartanburg County – Converse College, Edward Via College of Osteopathic Medicine (VCOM), Sherman College of Chiropractic, Spartanburg Methodist College, Spartanburg Community College, the University of South Carolina Upstate, and Wofford College.

Sherman Shows Heart with Free Valentine Visits, Donations to Oklahaven

February 21, 2012

Interns and clinic doctors at Sherman College of Chiropractic recently showed their appreciation for health center patients, offering more than 120 free chiropractic visits during “Sweetheart’s Day” on February 14. The college’s on-campus Chiropractic Health Center also raised money for Oklahaven Children’s Chiropractic Center.

During Sweetheart’s Day, current clinic patients were offered a free visit, and many took advantage of the offer, resulting in a busy day for interns and supervising faculty. “We wanted to celebrate current patients and show them how thankful we are that they trust the Sherman Health Center for their chiropractic care,” said Dean of Clinics Keith Henry, D.C. “Valentine’s Day was a great fit for showing our appreciation.”

The college took further advantage of the February 14 date by participating in an annual “Have a Heart” campaign, accepting donations for Oklahaven Children’s Chiropractic Center. Oklahaven, a nonprofit organization in Oklahoma City, OK, specializes in providing chiropractic care for mentally and physically challenged children. The center has had high success rates with children with such disorders as cerebral palsy, autism, sensory related disorders such as ADD/ADHD), colic, asthma, ear infections,  juvenile arthritis, and paralysis. Oklahaven has been helping children since 1962 and does not receive any government assistance.

The Sherman College Chiropractic Health Center is a teaching clinic for students in their final stage of internship prior to graduation from the doctor of chiropractic program. Interns, under direct supervision of licensed faculty chiropractors, provide quality and affordable chiropractic care to Upstate South Carolina residents through approximately 20,000 visits to the health center each year.

The facility serves as the hands-on learning site for the college’s chiropractic interns while also providing them with the experience essential to developing their clinical competence and creating a successful chiropractic practice after graduation. In addition, interns and faculty participate in spinal checks and health talks at community events throughout the year.

123 Chiropractors Donates $4,000 to Sherman College

123 Chiropractors, the world’s largest online resource for patients searching for a local chiropractor, recently donated $4,000 to Sherman College of Chiropractic in Spartanburg, SC.

In turn, 123 rewarded Sherman College for each chiropractor registered. In addition, the donation helped sponsor a program by renowned chiropractic neurology authority Dan Murphy, D.C., at Lyceum, the college’s annual continuing education event which is attended by hundreds of chiropractors throughout the U.S. and internationally.

“We are honored to support Sherman College of Chiropractic, a leader among academic institutions educating the chiropractors of tomorrow,” 123 Chiropractors Co-founder Spencer Peller said of the donation. “We look forward to a long-lasting partnership with Sherman College and Sherman chiropractors.”
