Careers in Chiropractic:
Community Service, Giving Back for a Healthier World
Sherman College students consistently say they choose the chiropractic profession because they want to help people. For a chiropractor, one of the best ways to help others is to put them on the path to optimal health. As a chiropractor, your calling to help others extends far beyond the walls of your practice. Making community service a habit helps demonstrate you want to be a member of the community rather than just be in the community.
- Your practice is more fulfilling when you are active in the community.
- Serving others contributes to the overall health of the community.
- Educational outreach attracts new patients you can guide to optimal health.
At Sherman College, we emphasize the value of service to the community. We back up that belief by providing a variety of opportunities for you to serve as a student and while you are an intern at our Chiropractic Health Center. Whether you conduct spinal screenings at a local health fair or give a talk about chiropractic at a community organization, your efforts not only support the health of the community, they also help you hone your skills and build your confidence.

Community Service Club Hosts Fundraiser for Sheriff's Department
Committed to making a difference in the local area, Sherman College’s Kappa Chi Community Service Club recently hosted a fundraiser for one of Spartanburg County’s most utilized task forces, its K-9 unit.
Local brewery RJ Rockers hosted the event. The club sold raffle tickets for a Yeti cooler and for a Sherman package, which included four free visits to the Chiropractic Health Center and some Sherman gear. Money was also raised through RJ Rockers donating $1 per specific beverage that was sold that night. Students also represented their quarter or club during a cornhole tournament at the event.
The turnout was a huge success, and the community showed great support. “It is truly a blessing and an honor to have the K-9 unit serve and protect our community,” said Club President Craig A. Bryan III. The club raised $750 from the raffle and cornhole tournament.

Therapy Dogs, Pure Barre Workshop Help Students Reduce Stress
Paws2Care brought several therapy dogs to campus last month to help students de-stress and become more “PAWSitive.” This event was part of Sherman College's Student Affairs program focused on improving students’ mental health by reducing stress and anxiety.
In August, Student Affairs welcomed Pure Barre Spartanburg to campus. The organization offered a class to students to promote physical activity, mindfulness and a healthy lifestyle.
Sherman College students often juggle a heavy class load, a busy home life, a tight budget and more. Recognizing the need to help students reduce their stress and anxiety, the college offers several activities each quarter that focus on improving mental health.

Did You Know? iSherman is Transforming Chiropractic Education at Sherman College
Sherman is the only chiropractic college giving all students and faculty members iPads and access to the latest technology to transform the curriculum and enhance teaching and learning. The college
rolled out its Apple initiative, iSherman, in 2016, and now it’s in full play. Every student on campus is given an iPad, fully loaded with everything from syllabi to e-books, at no additional tuition cost.
Simply put, the
iSherman initiative is revolutionizing the delivery of the doctor of chiropractic degree. Aside from simple e-books and course materials, we are enriching the learning experience in other ways, particularly with video. Using a cloud-based system to host course lectures allows students to have 24/7 access to course content. This approach is of particular benefit to students who need a little more time to learn and review the material.
The iSherman Initiative allows Sherman College to transform the overall educational experience of our students, making it the chiropractic program of choice for those seeking an institution focused on their individual learning needs.
