How do you stay connected to Sherman College? My husband, Dr. Chris, and I are Regents, members of the Alumni Association and participate in Lyceum. I am also an Assistant Professor at Sherman in Clinical Sciences.
Most Memorable Classmate: My two best friends in college were Dr. Laura Chadwick, and Dr. Donna Kelly. We had a wonderful class with so many great classmates. Our class was the first to have the females outnumber the guys two to one.
Favorite Sherman College Instructor: Drs. Sheldon Clayton, Gary Vidrine, Anthony Duke, and Ralph Boone. I could not pick just one, these instructors were great.
Fun Memory: Bagel fest and Spizz day skits were always a lot of fun while getting to know the new students and enjoying bagels. I also worked in the bookstore while a student and enjoyed my time there.
Favorite Lyceum Memory: I always enjoyed the Big Tent Philosophy events. We heard so many wonderful speakers like Dr. Gelardi, Dr. Reggie Gold, and Dr. Sigafoose among other giants in the profession. I remember the passion and excitement for the profession. I just loved listening to these wonderful and inspiring speakers as a student.
What has been the best improvement to Sherman you have seen since you were a student? By far I think the new Gelardi Student Center, Scallon and Olsen buildings renovations and moving the academics to incorporate advanced technology for the students are some of the best improvements since I was a student.
What would you like to see for Sherman College? I would like to see Sherman remain the preeminent chiropractic institution as it is today. The profession has so much to offer the communities of our world and Sherman helps prepare chiropractors to serve our communities. Drs. Betty and Thom Gelardi have left a legacy and impact on the profession that cannot be measured but will continue to have a lasting impact on countless lives. I am grateful to them and so many others who sacrificed and shared their vision for Sherman College.
