CollegeTown Community Service Initiative

Sherman student Jeanette Chomic shares her experience with the CSI project:

"To be completely honest, I went into this CSI event kicking and screaming. It was a Saturday after all, and the only place I really wanted to be on Saturday at 9 a.m. was under my covers and sleeping." Find out more about Jeanette Chomic's CSI experience...

Hundreds of students from Spartanburg’s six colleges and universities came together to make Spartanburg a better place on Saturday, April 10, as they participated in "CSI: CollegeTown Service Initiative," providing services to about a dozen service agencies around the community. It was the seventh service initiative undertaken by students through CollegeTown. This year, students participated in groups of varying sizes to provide much-needed services to a variety of Spartanburg service agencies and neighborhoods. Participating were Sherman students Katy Hughes, Jeanette Chomic, Sandy Martin, Holly Clarke, David Croxford, faculty member Beth Roraback, and staff members Kathy Wilson, LaShanda Hutto-Harris, and Tina Casey.

"The goal of CSI is for students to work with organizations and other students with whom they would not normally have contact, and that they will come away more invested in their community," says Rogers Brandt, CollegeTown coordinator. The CollegeTown consortium is a collaboration of the institutions of higher education in Spartanburg County--Converse College, Sherman College of Chiropractic, Spartanburg Methodist College, Spartanburg Community College, the University of South Carolina Upstate, Wofford College--and the City of Spartanburg.

Pilot Project: Dr. Amilliah Kenya to Chair Student Success Department

Dr. Amilliah Kenya Sherman graduate Amilliah Kenya, D.C. (’06) knows how challenging chiropractic college can be – emotionally, mentally and physically – and now she’s heading a pilot project at Sherman to help students move through the curriculum with confidence and success.

"Sometimes students are surprised by the intensity of the work at Sherman," says Kenya, "and others need just a little help with study habits or time management." Kenya sees some students every week, others once or twice a month. Students can become overwhelmed with the work load, especially if they have families or have jobs outside of school. "It takes planning and dedication to be successful," she says. "Those who have the will and focus can achieve what they want." Find out more about Kenya's Student Success Project ...

"Axl" & "Slash" Wow Upper Cervical Evolution 2010

In an unprecedented act of random fun at Upper Cervical Evolution 2010 in Charlotte, NC, President Jon "Axl" Schwartzbauer and second-quarter student Joe "Slash" Power led the audience in a rendition of "Bringing Upper Cervical Door to Door" with backup singers Lisa Hildebrand, VP for Enrollment and Susan Newlin, VP for Institutional Advancement. The song was based on the Guns N Roses version of the classic "Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door."

After reading Mike Veeck’s book, Fun Is Good: How to Create Joy & Passion in Your Workplace and Career, President Schwartzbauer decided to show the world that Sherman is both fun and different. People were dancing in the aisles and singing along, taking an enthusiastic break from the usual presentations.

In his flannel shirt and jeans, Schwartzbauer then spoke about succession planning for the future of chiropractic and asked attendees to ensure it and help build the profession by referring students. He introduced a young man from the audience, nine-year-old Boone Holliday, who had attended all the sessions with his parents, not only paying attention but taking notes. Schwartzbauer introduced him as the kind of person who may help lead the profession in the future.
