Kappa Chi Students
Serve Local Community
The Kappa Chi Community Service and Outreach Club recently volunteered at Reidville Fire Department in South Carolina. Eleven students helped clean the station and the firetrucks, then grilled dinner for the firefighters. “It was such a great experience to be able to serve our firefighters, talk a little about chiropractic, and have some homemade ice cream,” Carolyn Oliveira said of the opportunity to serve the local community.
She added that the club is looking to establish a relationship with the firefighters to hold this event once a quarter, and that a few firefighters made appointments to see one of the club’s interns. “Volunteering is such a beautiful thing, and we were fortunate enough to share the evening with an awesome group of firefighters!” Oliveira said.

Student Shares Chiropractic
with Hometown FFA Campers
DC2B and Sherman College student Russell Goff (pictured third from left in panel discussion photo) spent part of his summer break home in Wyoming at camp with the Future Farmers of America Organization. He spoke on a panel of past campers about how FFA has impacted his career and life experience, and he shared about his career path toward becoming a doctor of chiropractic.
“In the small schools in Wyoming, there are not many opportunities for high schoolers to get leadership training, business experience, or practice in public speaking,” Goff said. “For a large portion of the small schools in Wyoming, FFA is the outlet for high achieving, aspiring youth. Wyoming FFA Leadership Camp was so impactful on my life.”

Why chiropractic:
My father is a chiropractor, so I have had chiropractic [care] my entire life. When I was old enough, I began to work in his office as a CA. I saw people of all different ages and levels of health come in and out of his office. My dad changed some of these people’s lives by giving them a chiropractic adjustment with his hands alone. I wanted to be able to have this amazing power to help people with just my hands and that is why I chose chiropractic.
Favorite thing about Sherman
: My favorite thing about Sherman is the family I have made here. Moving from New Jersey, I didn’t really know anyone at all. The people in my quarter have become some of my best friends, and it’s really cool that we get to all go through this experience together.
