President’s News: Around the World
Sherman College Well Represented at RUBICON 2016 Sherman College President Edwin Cordero, D.C., was a featured speaker at the 2016 RUBICON Conference in London, England, March 11-13. Designed for chiropractors, students, spouses / partners and chiropractic support staff, the conference covered current circumstances affecting the profession and the practitioner. The program was organized in a fast-paced, TED Talks-style format with a series of 30-minute presentations throughout the two days. Executive Vice President Neil Cohen reflected on the event, saying “It has become evident that when institutions get together and stand together on the solid rock of principle, we are more than conquerors. It is time to once again rejoice, and be proud of who we are, what we stand firm for, and where we come from. With a strategy of cooperation rather than competition, and the help of these fine chiropractic institutions there is no question about our future.” In addition to President Cordero, two distinguished Sherman College alumni and chiropractic leaders were on the agenda: David Koch, D.C., ’80, professor of philosophy at Life University and Sherman College’s second president; and Phil McMaster, D.C., ’85, president of the New Zealand College of Chiropractic and a former Sherman faculty member. Cordero and several other chiropractic college presidents (including McMaster) shared their outlooks for the future of the chiropractic profession. Koch, along with Rob Scott, D.C., presented on contemporary chiropractic philosophy and its consistency with practice in the 21st century. The Rubicon Conference is a collaborative effort of Sherman College, Life University, Life Chiropractic College West, McTimoney College of Chiropractic, New Zealand College of Chiropractic, McTimoney Chiropractic Association, the Scottish Chiropractic Association and the United Chiropractic Association.
Bringing Sherman College and Chiropractic to the World In keeping with Sherman College’s vision of “Adjusting the World for a Better Future,” President Edwin Cordero, D.C., and Executive Vice President Neil Cohen, D.C., maintain an aggressive travel schedule filled with events to promote the college, share chiropractic and recruit new students.

Board of Trustees: Updates and Insights
Borio Joins Sherman Board The Board of Trustees at Sherman College is a visionary group of professionals dedicated to carrying out the college’s mission, goals and objectives to educate chiropractors, conduct relevant research and serve humanity with high quality health care. Christopher Kent, D.C., J.D., has completed his service to the board of trustees, and the college thanks him for his service and leadership. The college recently welcomed Joseph C. Borio, D.C., to the board for a second term. “The Board is excited to welcome back Dr. Joe Borio,” Peter Kevorkian, D.C., chair of the board, said. “Dr. Joe has been a strong supporter of Sherman College. Along with being a full-time practitioner, he supports chiropractors around the globe in developing and sustaining successful subluxation-centered practices. Borio holds bachelor’s degrees in biology and chemistry from Brockport State University in Brockport, NY, as well as B.S. and D.C. degrees from National College of Chiropractic in Lombard, IL. He is owner and president of Borio Chiropractic Health Center in Cicero, NY, and president and CEO of Chiropassion Consulting LLC. He lectures and writes for organizations in his community on chiropractic health topics, is an international author on chiropractic health care, has published videos on YouTube regarding chiropractic care, and works as an international speaker, mentor and coach. He serves on the board of directors of the International Federation of Chiropractors and Organizations and is a member of the Chiropractic Knights of the Round Table, the International Chiropractors Association and the New York State Chiropractic Council.
Giving is the Pathway to Receiving by Peter Kevorkian, D.C. Chair of the Board of Trustees Chiropractic care provides people with an opportunity to achieve a better life expression. It is a significant contribution in helping create a healthier and saner planet.
and “When I have more experience...” are justifications people make for not giving back. I propose that giving back is something we can make happen at any point along our careers.
As chiropractors, we are blessed to be able to serve the people of the world with this gift. The rewards of practice are voluminous. We experience a powerful satisfaction of helping our fellow man or woman. We see magic when a child climbs on the table and is excited to have his/her spine checked. We feel joy in seeing families achieve better health and actively engage in doing something to better themselves. We have the opportunity to create our own businesses. We can design an environment for our practices and we can architect the lifestyle that we desire. In addition, we have the ability to make a very good living. The benefits of chiropractic practice are immeasurable.
A student can give back in tutoring a fellow student, leading a club or organization, helping another with technical skills. A recent graduate can give back by referring students to the college, hosting recruitment events and participating in local and national organizations. Seasoned practitioners can give back with financial donations, speaking engagements, positions of leadership and mentoring. Opportunities to give back continually surround us. Our profession, the colleges, the political organizations and supportive groups need help through our time, treasures and talents.
Giving back to the profession is a huge manner of showing gratitude for the many gifts it offers us. I believe that the act of giving back not only helps perpetuate the profession, but it also opens the door to receive even more in one’s life. Often, people delay the process of giving back. Comments like: “When I have the money...” and “When I have more time...” or ”After I get out of debt...”
Sherman College is a leader in chiropractic education. We are graduating skilled, successful and compassionate doctors of chiropractic who deliver stateof-the-art contemporary chiropractic care while holding true to the traditional values and ideals of our profession. Whoever you are and whatever your role in chiropractic, our profession and Sherman College need you to give back. Whether by direct referrals or inviting prospective students to Showcase Sherman (continued on page 5)
Giving back to Sherman College benefits not only the college, it brings light and healing to the profession and to the world we live in. It also opens the door for you to receive. SHERMAN

Campus News: Mavericks, Geniuses and Icons
Employee Spotlight: Alumna Returns to Teach After more than a decade in private practice, Princess Porter-Fowler, D.C., ’01, returned to Sherman College last year as an instructor of clinical sciences. She teaches X-Ray Anatomy and assists in technique and x-ray courses. Since 2001, Porter-Fowler has kept busy practicing in downtown Spartanburg at Porter Chiropractic Clinic, as well as raising two children, Zoe, 7, and Xander, 5, with her husband, Ralph. Aside from teaching at Sherman, she still practices in the afternoons at the chiropractic office she shares with her father, 1977 Sherman graduate and longtime faculty member John H. Porter, Jr., D.C. “I’m very excited to be here,” she says of being back at her alma mater, though she sees the college and its curriculum differently now as a graduate and faculty member. “As a student, I always felt that school was challenging,” she explains, “but now I know that the challenge is greater as a chiropractic professional.” Porter-Fowler says she returned to Sherman College as a faculty member because she “wanted to get closer to the profession and assist in the development of future chiropractors. I enjoy watching students meet their goals.”
Sherman College Represented on Today’s Chiropractic Lifestyle’s List of Mavericks, Geniuses and Icons Several Sherman College leaders and graduates have been honored by Today’s Chiropractic Lifestyle (TCL) in its recent “Mavericks, Geniuses and Icons” section, including President Edwin Cordero, D.C.; former president David B. Koch, D.C., ’80; Phil McMaster, D.C., ’85; Arno Burnier, D.C., ’77; and Erica Peabody, D.C., ’04. When selecting honorees, the Life leadership team, TCL editorial board and Life President Guy Riekeman, D.C., looked for doctors who understand the potential of chiropractic as a subluxation-focused profession, doctors who are great at communicating to patients the effects of a clear nerve system, and doctors who are creating research paradigms that help measure the increased health and function in patients. In his message, Riekeman says the publication sought to recognize chiropractors who are working diligently to ensure access to affordable chiropractic care so that no one has to live with easily corrected interference to the nerve system. “We honor those who are doing it with the future in mind – united on the philosophical foundation of trust in the body’s innate wisdom and acting in cooperation, not competition, with its natural processes,” he wrote.
Honorees are featured on the TCL site at tclonline.today/2015-honorees/. Sherman College representatives are featured as follows:

Giving is the Pathway (continued from page 3) (our prospective student VIP weekend), becoming a regent, joining the ROAR program, speaking at the college, or mentoring students, giving back to Sherman College benefits not only the college, it brings light and healing to the profession and to the world we live in. It also opens the door for you to receive. Perhaps you’ve noticed that the more you give, the more you receive – I know that has been my experience. Aside from the feeling of doing the right thing, as we give, we create a ripple effect. Those in our circles see and feel the effects of that ripple, and they are inspired to do the same. As those ripples grow, we have the opportunity to create a wave of transformation. This wave can drive the ideals and principles of our great profession into the hearts and minds of people around the world. Giving back is something we can each do now. Listen to your heart and commit to giving back. Chiropractic and Sherman College are depending on you.

ROAR Spotlight: Q&A with Judy Campanale, D.C. Reach Out And Recruit (ROAR) program members serve as mentors, shape the profession and influence prospective students through participation in the program. When D.C.s recruit students, they help build the profession with compassionate, skilled, ethical and successful doctors of chiropractic. ROAR members represent Sherman at career fairs, host career sessions in the office, and serve as advisors to future colleagues. Judy Campanale, D.C., a 1992 Pennsylvania College of Straight Chiropractic graduate from Levittown, PA, has embraced the ROAR program by referring students and connecting them to Sherman. We asked her why it’s important to ROAR, and here’s what she had to say. Why do you support Sherman? I am a 1992 Penn Straight graduate, and I always considered Sherman a “sister” school, but when my alma mater was closed (1995) and the Sherman Alumni Association invited us to join, I was happy to be a part. I would certainly have supported Sherman anyway. Why did you join ROAR? I run a very busy family practice and have plenty of occasions to talk to young
people about their futures. Being part of the ROAR program just made it easier, because now I have lots of great information right at my fingertips to help those who might be well-suited for a career in chiropractic. Why should others become mentors? I know how I feel about the person who got me started on my chiropractic path. I would love to be that person in as many other people’s lives as I possibly can. Being a ROAR mentor gives me the connections, materials and information to do that with ease and confidence. How about that? It actually makes you look better to the people in your office! What do you share with students? How fun AND rewarding it is to be a chiropractor. Some jobs may be fun, and some are certainly rewarding, but how many really are both?! What an awesome combination. What is the best thing about ROARing? How does the program challenge you? I love sharing chiropractic as a career choice with the people in my office, but being part of the ROAR program also affords you opportunities to do outside events. These events are often great ways to meet people in your community and to share chiropractic and information about your office with them. Win-win-win!

Practice Success Program: Profitable Practice
The Story of Living a Profitable Practice by Dean and Jen DePice, D.C.s, of TLC4Superteams Running a profitable practice starts at Sherman College on day one of first quarter, thanks to the college’s Practice Success Program and its partnership with TLC4Superteams. The monumental task of students absolving all their student loan debt within six years of graduation is being brought to reality. We are now three quarters into teaching this Practice Success Program. TLC4Superteams coaches are taking time from their active chiropractic practices to invest in Sherman students. Take the students’ words for the value of the knowledge they are receiving in the Practice Success Program: “We are receiving a powerful message, in an engaging, lively, practical style of presentations by doctors with different styles of teaching that reach us. We are being held accountable for our key take aways.” The story of living a profitable practice life starts on students’ first day of classes with us asking the most important questions: Why have you chosen chiropractic? Why will you adjust? What is at stake if our world is not adjusted? Asking the right questions and pausing to listen to the students’ answers reveals their application of their “why” and their “how.” Then the community of TLC coaches give feedback and suggestions specific to increasing the efficiency of the students.

back that drives the students’ hunger for more. And when the students go back to their core classes in the Sherman curriculum, they are fueled to excel. Successful, profitable practice learning continues in second and third quarters with a curriculum that challenges students to unfold the legacy they want to impart in their chiropractic careers through a lifetime in practice. Courses in this track focus on starting with the end in mind. Subjects covered include foundational disciplines: the four steps of the ideal adjustment, binding exiting statements along with explanation of key TLC concepts, including the G.A.S. card, the magic of one triangles, and TLC’s Engagement Spectrum. This vast landscape of proven tools provides valuable, applicable information to the students. The story continues to unfold in fourth and fifth quarters when we start equipping the students’ toolbox of procedures that they will use in practice for growth, such as setting up the entire year of promotions in annual cycles of growth and renewal. Then they select the exact promotional actions that best utilize their strengths to get the truth out and attract more people to chiropractic. This happens in the “Toolbox for Growth” course. The course, “Living a Balanced Life,” may sound like an oxymoron: how can a student’s life be balanced? In the sixth and seventh quarters, the balanced living curriculum critically addresses subjects such as leading through kind confrontation, Socratic engagement, and the file drawer mindedness – all trademarked TLC practice skill sets. This course also highlights the D.C.’s primary job, the four things the chiropractor does, and the chiropractic assistant’s primary responsibilities.
The next step is studying patient care and walking through the details of every part of day one for a new patient in practice, from the greeting to the understanding of what the new person is looking for help with, to the clarity of what we as chiropractors are looking for (subluxation). This also includes the recommendation to perform a complete chiropractic exam and ask the questions and wait for answers, then, proceeding to the next step if there is a green light to engagement from the patient to proceed. This is often the highlight of the program for students, and the Practice Success coaches slow it all down and spend the time students need in these critical learning conversations to equip them to be successful with each person who comes to their offices. All this and more happens with the eighth- and ninth-quarter students. Breaking down the details of the structure and function of the practice – from the physical layout to the hiring of CAs – is critical and all occurs in the 10th and 11th quarter programs. The TLC Practice Success coaches utilize the TLC acronym of BOSS for the students’ benefit, including being fully present to knowing the questions that the students are asking, then providing the specific recommendations based upon the experience of chiropractors all over the country practicing in all different styles and practice layouts. Our company’s experience brings depth of information (continued on page 17)
Looking Back: The Sherman Experience
Oh, how times have changed and yet, some things stay the same. We asked graduates John Porter of Spartanburg, 1977, his daughter Princess Porter-Fowler, 2001, and soon-to-be D.C. Sean Wischhover about their Sherman College and Spartanburg experiences to see how the times have changed. Here’s what we found.
The Sherman Experience, Through the Years What is your most memorable positive experience while a student? Porter: Back in the day, Guy Riekeman, rode a horse inside the school located at JM Fields. Also, attending philosophy sessions with Dr. Reggie Gold was memorable. Porter-Fowler: My health center experience is my most memorable because I was able to bridge the gap between what I was learning in class and the idea of actual patient care. Wischhover: It’s been most memorable and rewarding to have my patients, out of their own initiative, return to see me with more frequency since we had such great improvements in their health under care, with the focus on keeping them subluxation-free. How was the food in the café? Porter: The food was palatable; Wib was a good chef. Porter-Fowler: The Innate Café was good. I always enjoyed Bagelfest, when first quarter was required to entertain the upperclassmen with a class song. Wischhover: The Farmer’s Table Café, with Shawn’s passion for food, rivals a highly acclaimed restaurant. He is creative, as well as health conscious, in his menu offerings! Were you involved in student clubs? Porter: I don’t remember if there were any clubs when I was a student.
Porter-Fowler: I was involved with the Association of Black Chiropractors and an unofficial Pierce club. Dr. Westbrook met with students on Thursdays after hours and taught Pierce work. I enjoyed the clubs; I was able to travel and meet students from others schools as a result. Wischhover: I have been involved in WCCS and Activator Club. What did you do for fun as a student? Porter: Rest and relaxation time was spent with my wife and children. Porter-Fowler: During my upper quarter breaks, I went home with friends who lived in other places like Pennsylvania. Wischhover: I enjoy the many outdoor activities that the Carolinas have to offer for hiking, biking and camping. Pisgah National Forest, Chimney Rock, and the endless waterfall hiking opportunities have kept me busy during my limited recreational time. Travel is also an enjoyed past time. Did you attend sporting events nearby? Porter: I went to baseball games at Duncan Park with the Spartanburg Phillies. Porter-Fowler: We had an intramural basketball team, and they played in the community industrial league. We won quite a bit of games. The opposing teams never took us seriously at first, but other teams never had the endurance that we had, and they also didn’t have Pedro. Pedro was an outstanding player. We won quite a number of those games.
Wischhover: I enjoy watching the Carolina Panthers summer training at Wofford College. My favorite sporting event is Swamp Rabbit hockey in Greenville. Did you attend concerts, plays or festivals in the community? Porter: I went to Spring Fling in downtown Spartanburg. Porter-Fowler: I attended lots of concerts and comedy shows. I would travel to Charlotte or Atlanta to see concerts, and I was a regular at the Comedy House Theater in Columbia. While in school, I saw Prince, R. Kelly, Steve Harvey, Bruce Bruce, John Legend and Ricky Smiley just to name a few. Wischhover: I frequent downtown Greenville on Fridays when the weather is nice in the summer. They close Main Street and have live music and great dining options. Greenville and Spartanburg have great downtown street festivals, including their food, culture and music fests. Was there a specific D.C. who made a great impact on you? Porter: Dr. Bruce Ehlich is the reason I became interested in chiropractic. He gave me my first adjustment – right atlas side posture toggle recoil – and it changed my life. (continued on page 23) SHERMAN

Guiding the Future A Message from your Alumni Association President Jami Karr, D.C., ’00 In my last article I talked about the importance of change, and embracing the changes that move us forward in our lives, in our work, and for our patients. Change makes the world move forward. This time, I would like to talk about where we have come from, the traditions and values we have stood upon as chiropractors. My thoughts were inspired by one of the ancient symbols used by the Akan people of Ghana, West Africa. The Adinkra symbol of “Sankofa” depicts two Sankofa birds bending their necks backwards toward each other, which makes the shape of a heart. The saying associated with the Sankofa Adinkra symbol is “go back to fetch it,” literally referring to our past experiences or traditions being a guide for the future. Traditions do change: culturally, linguistically, and of course, in our profession. A chiropractor who practiced in the early 1900s might not recognize the equipment we use today, and frankly much in the world of chiropractic has evolved. There is value to the idea of the Sankofa symbol, where we reach back into the traditions of the past in order to improve the future. What chiropractic concepts and practices would we remember and explore that could inform our current practice to improve it? Sherman College would not be the institution it is today had we not embraced the concepts of those whose passion and vision propelled it forward. I believe that Dr. Lyle Sherman would approve of the

job we have done, and that he would recognize and appreciate the college that bears his name. Sherman College has always been steeped in tradition, holding true to the art, science and philosophy of this great profession. Sure, things may be done a little differently, a little more effectively, but in the end we still locate, analyze and correct vertebral subluxations for the greater expression of life. I believe that has always been our goal, and I believe it will always be. The tradition remains. I am always grateful when folks say to me, “I know you’re not a real doctor, but...” I guess in some ways I could be offended by that, but I’m not, because they recognize what I do as “different.” They recognize that I’m not the allopathic doctor, or the doctor who treats and diagnoses disease, or the doctor who prescribes medication. I am none of those. I AM however, the doctor who stands in the tradition of my profession and adjusts vertebral subluxations so that the body will function better. That is all. And yet, it is everything to me. (continued on page 15)
Making Your Practice Work: Giving Back
You Get What You Give: Three Tips to Grow Your Business by Giving Back to Your Community “From what we get, we can make a living; what we give, however, makes a life.” – Arthur Ashe The greatest return I get from my job isn’t financial – it’s seeing growth and improvement in my practice members. As chiropractors, we feel wonderful when we can make a difference in how our practice members feel and when we help their bodies function better. That satisfaction is why I became a chiropractor. That said, chiropractic is also my livelihood, and while helping others is second nature to me, building a business has taken time, concerted effort, and a crash course in marketing. What I have learned is that I can take my passion for helping others and parlay it into the kind of marketing that grows my business and benefits the community.
by Jamielee Shanahan, D.C.,’10
1. Get involved in causes you care about. Find local philanthropies that you are emotionally invested in and volunteer your services and time. For me, these causes are school fundraisers, veteran events, and groups that help those with special needs. You will meet so many community-minded people, get your name out there, and give back at the same time. When I was a child, my mother recruited local businesses to donate gift certificates or deals for sports fundraisers in my hometown. These are companies my family continues to use years later, not just because they provide stellar service, but also because we always take care of the businesses who give to the community and take care of us. When you truly care about something, it shines through, and people are more drawn to you because it’s genuine. They will, in turn, remember your name when they seek chiropractic care.
A few years ago, my family moved to a new town where we didn’t know anyone. This was exciting personally, but intimidating professionally. Quickly thrown into a situation where I needed to make myself known, I was faced with a major challenge: How could I build a business where I knew no one? Appearing in TV spots and paying for advertising didn’t feel right. Going to dozens of wellness fairs was never in my comfort zone. I needed to find ways to use my strengths to introduce my business to my new community while staying true to myself.
ecosystem also need to get their voices out there. Find them. Help them. And they will help you. Partner with companies that complement yours. Yoga studios, gyms, and parenting organizations can all be natural fits, but even companies that seem to be unlikely matches can add value to your organization.
Here are the top three ways that I found to best share my business and give back to my new community at the same time.
In my own backyard, we have garden stores, event centers, and natural food markets that have passed along clients
2. Join forces with like-minded businesses. Other companies in your

(and vice-versa) thanks to our partnerships. Start by introducing yourself and building a relationship; agree to share each other’s cards, Facebook posts, and promotions; and organically you will reap great rewards. You can also join forces on charities and fundraisers to amplify your efforts to do good. Our practice partnered with 26 local businesses this past holiday season to collect toys for local children. We were able to help 224 local kids enjoy the holidays and this spread our business name out there as well. I know that because of the involvement in this effort, our practice (and all of the businesses involved) will gain new clientele. It feels great to make a difference while growing our companies together.
3. Play to your strengths and interests. Get involved in activities you already love and surround yourself with great people (continued on page 15)

Campus News: Sherman Apple Initiative
by Director of Teaching & Learning Billie Harrington, Ph.D.
Unveiling the New Brand: The Sherman College Apple Initiative Becomes iSherman Why Change? The 18 accredited chiropractic programs and institutions in the U.S. have the unique task of preparing individuals for service to a technologically advancing society through the profession of chiropractic. At an increasing rate, institutions of higher education, and more specifically chiropractic programs, must address the question of how we prepare students for a chiropractic career in a technology-charged society. Sherman College’s strategy for accomplishing this is through the technology enhancement of our curriculum. We believe interweaving technology into teaching and learning will solidify the college’s position among its peers in the chiropractic education marketplace. Sherman must be seen as a trendsetter in the field – evolving with the constant changes in a high-tech age. Technological advances in our society are inevitable. Evidence has shown that success comes to those institutions which maintain their philosophical foundations while adapting to societal transformations similar to the onset of technology in our culture.

SHERMAN
Sherman College faculty members Laura Greene-Orndorff, D.C., Lynne Koch, D.C., and Cindy Gibbon, D.C., along with colleagues, have embraced Apple technology in the classroom.
Why Brand? To embrace this institutional transformation, it was important to adopt a program brand to foster a sense of pride in the program and send a message to the market that Sherman College is distinct from its peers. Colleges spend thousands each year in marketing programs, and the impetus driving many of these branding initiatives is the acknowledgment that applicants have a number of choices. Chiropractic education is not exempt from this concern. We believe that leveraging advanced technologies in the delivery of the chiropractic curriculum will indeed make Sherman the institution of choice in the years to come. For this reason, it was imperative that the brand for the Sherman College Apple Initiative effectively communicate that message of institutional distinctiveness. Education technology is a game-changer that will enhance Sherman’s face-to-face
delivery of the curriculum in chiropractic education and differentiate the college from other chiropractic institutions.
Why Embrace? The iSherman brand for our technology initiative was created through the collaborative efforts of students, faculty, staff and administration. The plethora of questions in this process was grounded in the singular focus that the college did not want to send a message that it was simply adding technology to teaching and learning. The driving force for this project centered on the campus vision, mission and strategic plan to create and support a learning and teaching environment that is not only second to none, but forward thinking in its approach and implementation. In a digital society, the “i” suggests the incorporation of technology; the college was strategic in selecting the lower case “i” in the sense that the technology is

not overshadowing the primary mission of the college: preparing chiropractors for success in practice through education, research and service. The addition of the mascot, Larry the Lion, represents our campus “pride” – constant and strong. The reoccurring question for many was “What is the role of technology on our campus?” That inquiry introduced the tagline that aligns with the goal of chiropractic care in our society – to transform the lives of patients. Hence, iSherman, our technology initiative, will “transform chiropractic education.” Without hesitation, every stakeholder associated with Sherman College – whether student, faculty, staff, administrator or alumnus – should possess that Sherman Pride and desire to see the college become the preeminent chiropractic program in the world. iSherman will certainly be a conduit to that goal.
We believe that leveraging advanced technologies in the delivery of the chiropractic curriculum will make Sherman the institution of choice in the years to come. Education technology is a game-changer that will enhance Sherman’s face-to-face delivery of the curriculum in chiropractic education and differentiate the college from other chiropractic institutions.

with shared interests. You will feed your soul, your community, and by proxy, your business. We turned my passion for gardening into a donation-based charity farm stand inside our office. Practice members come to get fresh produce and donate what they can. That money is put back into the community via local causes, such as supporting families in need.
I believe our success derives itself from the traditions of our past. Without traditions and values, where would we anchor? What place would we always come back to when faced with an issue or problem that we had not previously encountered? In those times, we become the birds of Sankofa; we look to our past to bring success to our future.
When I had my first daughter, I sought out other new moms who were open to home births, breastfeeding and baby wearing. I met a network of amazing parents and, over time, they learned I was a chiropractor and I organically started caring for many of their families. Similarly, I was a member of my gym for months before people found out I was a chiropractor, but once they did, many became practice members and passed my name along to their friends.
This year’s Lyceum marks the end of my term as Alumni Association president. I am honored to have been part of a long line of Alumni Association presidents and I look forward to “passing the gavel” to my colleague Jennifer York, D.C., who will continue the tradition. I trust that she, too, will move us forward while holding onto the traditions of our past. The sacred trust has been given to us all. It is the job of each of us to guard it well.
You don’t have to take out full-page ads, buy billboards, or pay Google to grow your business, especially early on in practice when you have lots of time and little money. You just need to find what makes your heart happy, be yourself, and you can build your business organically. Donate your time and services to the world around you. People will notice and you will not only build valuable friendships, but also foster business relationships and clients who will market for you. It sounds cliché, but you really do get back what you give. Jamielee Shanahan, D.C., is a fun-loving chiropractor and owner of Harmony Chiropractic, a referral-based home practice in North Attleboro, Massachusetts. She has a passion for prenatal and pediatric chiropractic as well as gardening and CrossFit. Her greatest loves, however, are her husband and two amazing daughters.

# Love Where You Live What chiropractic has to offer to improve the health and well-being of the local community is unique. Building on the relationships already in place and pursuing others, Sherman College is strengthening and expanding the Health Center’s grassroots marketing efforts. by Beverly Knight
When Dwayne Hoskins, D.C., joined the Sherman family as dean of clinic operations and outreach in March 2015, he took on the job of expanding the college’s efforts to extend its reach into the local Spartanburg community and beyond. The Health Center has for years been the primary means of promoting Sherman and its philosophy of chiropractic to those outside the college family. To expand on that important outreach effort, Adam Morrell, D.C., former dean of the Health Center, had made some crucial community contacts that Hoskins has been able to build on during his first year. The new dean’s commitment to promoting chiropractic was honed during the 23 years he spent in private practice in Indiana. He was first introduced to Sherman through his relationship with a mentor, Joe Donofrio, Sr., D.C., a former longtime board member and the father of Joe Donofrio, D.C., A.C.P., Sherman’s Vice President for

Academic Affairs. On his first visit to the college, Hoskins said, he “fell in love” with the school, and when he was offered a position with the charge of growing Sherman’s community outreach program, he embraced it wholeheartedly. Building on the relationships that were already in place and pursuing others, he began strengthening and expanding the Health Center’s grassroots marketing efforts. “Our goal for our students is to expose them to as many professional and business experiences as possible,” Hoskins says of the multi-pronged outreach program that is being developed. “To provide them with the best possible experiences, we need to have them interact with the ‘real world’ in as many ways as possible.” Those real-world experiences now include not only the professional environment of the Chiropractic Health Center, where students interact with patients during approximately 30,000 visits (including outpatients, students and family members) each year, but also numerous other opportunities off the Sherman campus.
Donofrio supports the outreach efforts because he believes that what chiropractic has to offer to improve the health and well-being of the greater community is unique. “It all starts with how we’re impacting our community,” he explained. “The process began several years ago when we realized that we weren’t reaching the community the way we could,” he said of the current emphasis on outreach and community involvement. “The idea was revitalized under Dr. Morrell, who was tasked with getting us out into the community more, and now Dr. Hoskins is building on that foundation.”
Expanding Access to Care The first community outreach effort beyond the Health Center was a partnership with AccessHealth Spartanburg, an initiative designed to link health professionals with the uninsured, focused on improving the overall healthcare of the community. AccessHealth counsels clients to adopt a healthier lifestyle by helping them address any social barriers they may face. Unlike a physical clinic,
AccessHealth is a service that works to connect clients with others who provide healthcare to them free of charge, according to Carey Rothschild, director of AccessHealth Spartanburg. Rothschild says that the relationship between AccessHealth and Sherman College initially grew out of a meeting with President Edwin Cordero, D.C., at a Spartanburg Chamber of Commerce event. After discussing their respective missions, Rothschild remembered, they determined that the incredible resources Sherman could provide dovetailed perfectly with the mission of AccessHealth. “The relationship has worked so well because our philosophy and Sherman’s philosophy are so similar,” the Access Health director explained. “We have one objective: the improvement of the client’s health.” Clients of AccessHealth are referred to Sherman’s Health Center or to independent chiropractors in the community who have agreed to provide their services free of charge. “The feedback that we’ve had
from clients who have taken advantage of chiropractic care has been overwhelmingly positive,” Rothschild said. “Those who had been experiencing negative health issues say they wake up every morning with a better quality of life. One client was even able to stop using a cane,” Rothschild said, adding that clients are particularly thankful that they never feel any stigma from the fact that they are not paying patients. Although Rothschild herself was aware of the benefits of chiropractic care, she said that in the beginning counselors had to suggest chiropractic care to clients, some of whom were resistant because they were unfamiliar with it. “Now clients come to us asking for chiropractic care because they’ve heard about its benefits from someone else,” Rothschild said of the growing acceptance of what chiropractic has to offer. “Many of these clients have become excited about the positive experiences with chiropractic, and they share their stories with others. That’s a testimony to the success of the partnership with Sherman.”

“When we saw this, we also saw that Sherman needed to have a bigger impact. We have the Health Center, but we were not participating in the conversations that were taking place; we were outside the conversation.” It became clear that the Way to Wellville initiative was a great fit for Sherman’s new emphasis on outreach and provided yet another way to work with the greater community to improve healthcare while cementing relationships with like-minded people and organizations.”
March 2016 graduate Rachel Leskosky, D.C. (an intern when this photo was taken) speaks with families about the importance of chiropractic care during a ReGenesis Health Fair in Spartanburg.
Hoskins also sees a cultural shift that has increased opportunities for chiropractic and Sherman College to expand its reach. “Where once chiropractic care might have been a patient’s last choice, it has now become a first choice,” he said of the attitude toward chiropractic that has grown increasingly positive as a result of the community’s familiarity with its principles. And Rothschild knows there is still plenty of room for future growth, for AccessHealth and for chiropractic, in the Spartanburg community. Despite the fact that AccessHealth now has 5,000 clients enrolled in its program, she understands that with 13,000 uninsured people in Spartanburg, many more opportunities exist that are yet untapped and that can positively affect the health of the community. “It’s important that we help our clients take advantage of every resource available. We can make their appointments, get them there and help them understand their care plans,” she said of the services provided. But she knows that beyond those steps, the key to improved health lies in successful collaborative partnerships such as the one AccessHealth has developed with Sherman College.

Donofrio is heartened by the positive way this collaboration has affected the community, but he says the college has benefited in many ways as well. “Our relationship with AccessHealth introduced us into communities we hadn’t been a part of before,” he explained. “It definitely opened doors for us.” The fact that Sherman has been able to build better relationships has made it possible for both the college and community organizations to better understand each other’s positions. “It’s beneficial to the healthcare community, to Sherman College, and to chiropractic as a profession when we develop this mutual understanding.”
To help raise its profile in the community, Sherman College has also established a presence every Saturday morning at the Hub City Farmers’ Market, billed as “more than a market.” The organization is committed to increasing the supply, demand and access to healthy, local food in Spartanburg County to benefit the overall health of the community. In addition, the college has developed a relationship with ReGenesis, an organization dedicated to the preservation and restoration of health and wellness for the residents of Spartanburg County and adjoining Cherokee County. Edward Via College of Osteopathic Medicine (VCOM), which has a campus on the north side of Spartanburg near the Hub City Farmers’ Market, has also proven to be a willing partner. Potential
Encouraging Community Wellness When Spartanburg was chosen in 2014 as one of only five communities in the nation to receive a sizable grant to participate in the Way to Wellville, a challenge to develop new and innovative solutions to improve community health, Sherman College saw the news as a wonderful opportunity and signed on as one of the movement’s nonprofit partners. “Studies indicated that the area was unwell,” Donofrio said of the path that led to Sherman’s involvement.
Interns represent the college at various health fairs and special events in the local community.
collaborations between Sherman College and VCOM include sharing outreach clinic space and sharing testing facilities and technology, which Donofrio emphasizes as a way to make the most of both institutions’ resources – not reinventing the outreach wheel, but partnering toward a similar goal: providing excellent care to an underserved population. Hoskins is certainly pleased with the direction that the outreach program has taken, but he knows that there are many more opportunities to be explored.
Building Athletic Partnerships Sherman is particularly interested in building on its partnership with Spartanburg Methodist College (SMC), a twoyear private college with an enrollment of approximately 800. Since the Upstate of South Carolina is home to several four-year colleges, Hoskins is exploring opportunities to expand on the model created for SMC to partner with the other colleges in the area. Chiropractic students are increasingly interested in pursuing work with distinct populations, athletics being one of the fastest growing. Former dean Morrell had developed a plan for Sherman interns to serve the 15 athletic teams at SMC, working alongside their own Health Center faculty mentors and the athletic training team at SMC. Tiffany Walker, a certified athletic trainer in her sixth year on staff at SMC, works primarily with women’s soccer, wrestling and baseball teams and has witnessed firsthand the benefits of chiropractic with the athletes she serves. Every Wednesday afternoon, Sherman interns report to the athletic training room, ready to work with athletes on a walk-in basis. “Our athletes have many issues to deal with and they always want to see what chiropractic can do to help them enhance their performance,” Walker explained, pointing to the nationally recognized baseball team as the group that perhaps benefits most from care. “Baseball players, because the nature of the sport can cause asymmetry
and throw things off, make extensive use of chiropractic care.” And even though Sherman College student interns rotate through the program, Walker said the athletes develop relationships with their student chiropractors and “look for their regulars.” When complicated cases arise, Sherman College Health Center faculty are there to mentor students through them. Walker said Sherman College interns helped get one of her soccer players, Bailey Wilson, back on the field. The freshman, who aspires to be an FBI agent, initially came in for care after an injury, but she has since realized the impact chiropractic care has had on her performance on and off the field. “It was a great experience,” Wilson said of the care plan that the athletic trainer and the Sherman intern worked together to develop. “I saw such improvements – I was running and playing myself into shape.” Now she makes it a habit to go to the training room every Wednesday so the trainer and the chiropractic intern can work together on her care. “Having the trainers and talking with the chiropractors has helped
me motivate myself and really focus on getting better to play up to my potential,” Wilson said. Matt Oliver, though only in his first year as wrestling coach at SMC, has wrestled for 20 years, most recently at Newberry College, and was accustomed to larger schools that had the benefit of chiropractic care for their athletes. When he learned about SMC’s relationship with Sherman College, he recommended that his wrestlers take advantage of the opportunity. “Those who availed themselves of the service have seen positive results, especially in the reduction of headaches from concussion, something that wrestlers often deal with,” the coach said. Oliver sees this partnership as a way to give athletes the extra care they need to stay healthy and competitive. The most important part of any collaborative process, Walker said, is keeping the lines of communication open. Continuation of care is insured by sign-in sheets and charts that are updated each week. “Chiropractic is a tool we can use to keep our athletes healthy,” the athletic trainer said. “That is a shared goal

for all of us. I feel that the relationship has been beneficial for our student athletes and for the Sherman students who get hands-on experience with a specific population.”
Learning to Serve; Serving to Learn Developing healthy relationships with the healthcare community and the community at large provides Sherman College’s students with learning and serving opportunities. “We want to expose interns to what others do so that when they have to go out into their own communities, they will understand the role they can play,” Hoskins said. “These partnerships also further our goal of exposing everyone to chiropractic. When people the interns interact with have a positive experience, that’s good for Sherman and good for the profession.” However, Hoskins emphasizes that the Health Center is the crucial factor in the development of professionally trained student chiropractors as well as a close connection to the community. Currently the college has 116 interns seeing patients (a number that is climbing each quarter as enrollment continues to grow), initially training in the newly renovated student clinic space, and it is important that these students get experience working in a real-world clinic, providing care under the supervision of licensed doctors

of chiropractic. Everything possible is done to ensure that the clinic experience is as close as possible to what graduates will experience when they leave Sherman College. The success of the program is reflected in the clinic’s numbers. In the past few years the Health Center has seen a dramatic increase in total visits to the Health Center, with outpatient numbers rising from 12,942 in 2013 to 16,320 in 2015.
Changing Lives at the Clinic Roberta Thomas, a Health Center patient, loves to tell the story of how she benefited from her experience in more ways than she could have expected. Nine years ago she was experiencing what she described as “a challenging time” in her life. Her daughter urged her to make an appointment at Sherman College’s Health Center, where the daughter’s friend was an intern. Although Thomas had no idea what she would experience there, she made an appointment. “My first visit was not what I expected,” Thomas said. “My intern was very cheerful and professional. I was guided to a room where they explained the patient process and provided knowledge on how to achieve a better lifestyle with chiropractic care. I immediately thought, ‘This makes sense.’ ” After a few visits, she began to feel improvements in her quality of life. “I felt less stress, less weight in my walk and a brighter attitude,” she said, adding that she knew immediately that she was on a path to better health. The life-changing experience came at a perfect time for her. She was laid off from her previous employer of 10 years and had to begin the search for a new job. Because she felt her Health Center appointments were important, she continued her care. Then on one of her visits she learned about several job postings at Sherman and was encouraged by Shirlene Burnsed, the Health Center receptionist, to apply. She completed the paperwork, interviewed and was hired.
Now, seven years later, Thomas is the executive administrative assistant to President Edwin Cordero, D.C., and is “still learning about chiropractic care and its miracles,” as she never tires of sharing. “I can confidently say that quality chiropractic care helped me move forward with making decisions about my life and future work,” Thomas said, something that would never have happened if she had not had the opportunity to visit the Health Center.
Continuing Plans for Outreach That is exactly the kind of testimonial that Hoskins loves to hear from Health Center patients. And he’s confident that advancing technology will allow Sherman to expand even further to meet growing patient needs. Electronic systems that provide greater access to records will make it even easier to continue expanding both in the Health Center and into the community. “The satellite clinic at SMC has shown us that it will be possible to expand further,” Hoskins said of future plans to establish similar collaborations. “Fostering interconnected networks is the key.” Students, faculty and staff are encouraged to go out into the community and become part of the conversation. They attend Chamber of Commerce and Rotary events, serve on boards and become involved in the greater community in as many ways as possible. In doing so, they learn that becoming a contributing part of the community and sharing their gifts with the community is good for them and good for chiropractic. But outreach doesn’t stop with the Spartanburg community. The college’s next steps include developing ambitious plans to establish a regular, consistent mission program. Opportunities in Costa Rica and Appalachia are already robust, and Hoskins feels that a support system could be in place by late 2017 to instill a strong culture of missions at the college. If the successes of the past and present are any indication, the future is bright for expanding Sherman College’s reach even further in the months and years to come.
The Sherman Experience (continued from page 11) Porter-Fowler: My father, of course, was an amazing influence. As far as a female chiropractor, it would be Dr. Beatrice Gamble of Gamble Chiropractic in Columbia, SC. I still love how she balances her success and her family, which can be a challenge for a chiropractor-wife-mom. Wischhover: I have been under chiropractic care by several different chiropractors since I was a teen. They greatly influenced me on how to live a healthy life, free of nerve interference. What were your favorite restaurants? Porter: My favorite restaurant was my mom’s kitchen. Porter-Fowler: There was a restaurant, Woodward’s Café, where Dr. David Koch (president when I first began) used to take the students in order to discuss their concerns about the college. That was one of my favorite restaurants so, needless to say, I always found concerns to discuss with him. Wischhover: I enjoy Chipotle, Mellow Mushroom, Fuji, and on the special occasion, the Peddler. And then there is always CookOut when you are having a “cheat day” and need a grab-and-go alternative. Where did you go grocery shopping? Porter: We shopped at Winn-Dixie. Porter-Fowler: I would say that I was a Bi-Lo girl during that period of time. Wischhover: I grocery shop at Ingles, Fresh Market, Aldi and Costco. What was your favorite outdoor recreation area around Sherman College? Porter: The outdoor recreation area was the parking lot at JM Fields. Porter-Fowler: I always enjoyed stretching out on the picnic tables that were located where the walkway to the health center is now located. Wischhover: Two of the nicest outdoor places, in my opinion, are the Milliken Arboretum in Spartanburg and Falls Park

in Greenville. These areas are perfect to run or just sit and read or study.
Porter-Fowler: Dr. Dick Plummer used to give an animal adjusting seminar regularly, and I always enjoyed it.
Briefly describe downtown Spartanburg when you were in school.
Wischhover: I have enjoyed various technique seminars, animal adjusting, New Beginnings, CLA, and Integrity seminars.
Porter: Spartanburg has changed tremendously over the years. Where Sherman College once stood is a vacant lot and the Denny’s Building, which I think is the tallest building in Spartanburg. The entire city is more metropolitan. Porter-Fowler: Downtown Spartanburg is now amazing compared to when I was a student. Back then there was no Marriott, Wild Wings or any other place to draw you to the downtown. Wischhover: Downtown Spartanburg has become very trendy, with nice shopping, eating and living options. I’ve seen loft conversions from old mills and warehouses, both downtown and the outlying area.
Where did you see outpatients? Porter: Sherman’s first clinic was located at the shopping center at JM Fields and the second clinic was in the Scallon Building where the library is today. Porter-Fowler: The clinic was located in its current location, the Taylor Building. Wischhover: The clinic is still there. Did you work while you attended Sherman? What was your side-job? Porter: Yes, I worked at Sears in the Shipping and Receiving Department and other odd jobs that I could acquire.
What was your favorite off-campus chiropractic seminar?
Porter-Fowler: I worked in a clothing store at Westgate Mall.
Porter: I didn’t attend any off campus seminars; I always thought that Sherman College gave me everything I needed in order to become a chiropractor.
Wischhover: I enjoy my work-study job in the Office of Institutional Advancement. I work during breaks as well, with my own construction/remodeling business.

2015 Honor Roll of Donors
Endowment Giving for Sherman’s Future by Director of Development and Alumni Relations Marggi Roldan If you’re a saver or someone who plans for a rainy day, you’ll love the idea of donating to one of Sherman’s Endowment Funds. Sherman College’s endowment funds were established with the future in mind. They are funds set aside with a specific purpose for the future and are protected and will provide for the college’s success years after those of us reading this are gone – in other words, forever. Only the net earnings or a portion of those earnings are spent to fulfill the purpose of the fund. I invite you to review the funds below and contribute to those that speak to your heart. All gifts will add to the protected principal amount which, in turn, will produce larger returns to use. A donation to any of Sherman’s endowed funds is a gift that truly keeps on giving.
The Berkowitz Memorial Scholarship was established by Sherman graduate Len Mazza, D.C., to honor his mentor Bob Berkowitz, D.C., and the memory of Berkowitz’s parents Sandra and Samuel who instilled in their son an ethic of community service; it provides scholarships to students with similar characteristics.
The Ted Hartley Memorial Scholarship was established by Sherman graduate John Degenhart, D.C., to honor the memory of former classmate and Florida chiropractor Ted Hartley.
The C.G. Haynes Scholarship was established from an estate gift of a patient in Washington state to honor his chiropractor, C.G. Haynes, an early supporter of the college. Recipients are students from Washington state and/or career changers.
The General Endowment Fund was established to provide support to the overall chiropractic program at the college.
The Health Center Equipment Fund was established to provide funds to purchase chiropractic equipment such as tables and instrumentation and to maintain such equipment in good working condition.
The Michigan Chiropractic Foundation Scholarship Fund was established in 2014 to provide scholarships to Sherman students from Michigan who plan to return to Michigan to practice chiropractic.
The Lyle and Eula Sherman Scholarship Fund was established to honor the college’s namesake and his wife.
The John Yglesias Scholarship Fund was established by the estate of a chiropractic patient to support the scholarship needs of the college.

Think Outside the Box With Your Giving In addition to making a cash donation, there are many ways to give. We welcome your outside-the-box ideas for discussion as you consider how you can help provide for the future of Sherman College. For instance, you can give appreciated property such as stocks, bonds or real estate. When stocks, bonds, mutual funds, real estate, and other appreciated assets are sold, tax is due on any capital gain. But you can avoid or delay the capital gains tax by making a charitable gift of the property to Sherman College. Sherman College is a 501(c)3 non-profit institution, and your gifts are tax deductible. The combined benefits of bypassing tax on the capital gain, receiving an income tax deduction, and making a charitable gift can be very gratifying. Consult with your accountant or tax advisor to explore how giving appreciated property can benefit both you and a non-profit institution like Sherman College. To discuss a specific gift to the college, contact Director of Development and Alumni Relations Marggi Roldan at 864-578-8770, ext. 277. SHERMAN

Why I Support Sherman: Donor Stories I support Sherman College because it teaches the purest form of chiropractic today. My chiropractor, Vic Martindale, D.C., was a student under Dr. B.J. Palmer at Palmer College. When I first expressed interest in becoming a chiropractor, he did not hesitate to recommend Sherman College. That was over 30 years ago! My sentiments are still the same as his were back then. As I did more than 30 years ago, students today get the complete chiropractic package of philosophy, science and art at Sherman. They also get the practical skills necessary to be successful in business. – Jim Minico, Jr., D.C., ’85, Chapin, SC SHERMAN

Legacy Gifts Are Greatly Appreciated At Sherman College, we appreciate those who are providing for the college’s future needs by including Sherman in their wills or estate plans. Such legacy gifts can have a tremendous impact on future generations of students. If you and your spouse or partner are so inclined, we welcome your future gift with gratitude. Including Sherman in your will or estate planning is as easy as informing your family and lawyer of your wishes. Some leave a set amount to be gifted to the college; others determine a set percentage of their final estate to be gifted. All such planned gifts are deeply appreciated. Please let us know your intentions so that we can include you among the members of our Legacy Society.
