Taking
Chiropractic to the World:
Houpt shares Haiti Chiropractic Mission Trip Experience
by Marggi Roldan
with Katie Aita Houpt, D.C.
“I was most deeply reminded of how lucky I am,” says Dr. Katie Houpt after she returned from a recent trip to Haiti where she volunteered her time and travel to care for hundreds of Haitian adults and children still living in tent cities following a devastating earthquake in January. She and other chiropractors are making the trip through Mission Life International organized by Dr. Peter Morgan.
Houpt says she met Morgan at a New Beginnings Seminar and learned about his efforts to help the Haitians.. Read more about Katie and the trip to Haiti
Meet the Trustees: Dr. John Hilpisch, Chairman
John Hilpisch likes to say he discovered chiropractic in 1991 after attending
an A.D.I.O. seminar. This 1987 graduate of Northwestern College of Chiropractic
is a native of Lake Elmo, MN. He is well-known for his love and teaching of upper
cervical chiropractic and practice of the Blair technique. He opened a private
practice in 1998 and has practiced there since. Hilpisch is certified board proficient
in the Blair technique.
Dr. Hilpisch attended his first Sherman College Lyceum in 1992. The energy and passion he felt on campus from the students, alumni, faculty and staff made him feel as though he found a new home. The sense of belonging and a desire to help preserve the mission of Sherman is what prompted him to apply for a position on the Board of Trustees here. Read more about Dr. Hilpisch
Alumnus Burcon to Present Research in Japan
Michael T. Burcon, D.C., will present his paper, “Cervical Specific Protocol
and Results for 300 Meniere’s Patients,” to the Sixth International Symposium
on Meniere’s Disease in Kyoto, Japan, on November 16. His topic will be the
novel treatment of inner ear diseases. Burcon is a 1998 Sherman alumnus practicing
in Grand Rapids, MI.
Burcon began researching Meniere’s Disease (MD) 10 years ago after having three MD patients quickly experience relief from vertigo under upper cervical specific chiropractic care. Read more about Dr. Burcon and Meniere's Disease.

Student
Jasen Van Dyke Wins $700 CCA Auxiliary Scholarship
First place was awarded to Sherman student Jasen Van Dyke for his essay
"How God Guided Me into Chiropractic" in the Christian Chiropractors
Association Auxiliary Scholarship contest. The essay was chosen from 16 entries
from several chiropractic colleges. Jasen shares his journey as a parent
of a child diagnosed with cerebral palsy who at age three began receiving
chiropractic care. Jasen's observations of the results of care for the child
of a friend, and for his daughter and his wife, led him to change career
from teaching to studying chiropractic. He
is currently in his fourth quarter. "I excitedly wait," Jasen says, "for
the privilege of serving others." Read
the winning essay on the CCA website.

Prospective Students Shadow Sherman Interns
Sherman
College’s most recent Shadow an Intern Day was held on Thursday, July 29. The
college welcomed six students and their guests to campus to enjoy lunch in
the Scallon Building Atrium before pairing them up with interns for an afternoon
in the Chiropractic Health Center. This event is designed to be small
and personal so the prospective students can benefit from the one-on-one
interaction with their interns.
Prospective students were able to observe patient visits, sit in on classes, tour the x-ray suite and experience all the daily responsibilities of an intern. By all reports, the students had a great day, and the only complaint was that the day was over too soon! Shadow an Intern Days are held in February and July each year.
Save the Date! November 12-13: Pride of Sherman Tour
The Pride of Sherman Tour will be November 12-13 on the Sherman campus. This two-day event provides prospective students with the opportunity to explore the chiropractic program at Sherman College. They will participate in a mock adjusting class and anatomy lab presentation, meet students, faculty and graduates, tour campus and more! If you know someone who is interested in a chiropractic career please tell them about this event or send their information to the Admission Office at admissions@sherman.edu. Registration begins September 1.
