The South Carolina Hispanic Chamber of Commerce (SCHCC) presented the 2019 Visionary Award to Sherman College President Dr. Edwin Cordero during its ¡Impacto! event held December 12, 2019, in Greenville. This award is presented to a person of guidance, influence and contribution to the Hispanic community that helps Hispanic businesses reach their full potential. The ¡Impacto! celebration includes inspirational speakers, a presentation of awards, and dinner.
Executive Assistant to the President Roberta Thomas-Wood and Anatomy Lab Manager Dr. Edgar Rivera, representatives of the college, proudly accepted the award on behalf of Dr. Cordero, who was attending Sherman College’s employee holiday party that same evening.
Also attending the event were three of Sherman College’s five SCHCC scholarship recipients: Sherman students Jezlynne Cintron, Genesis Sanchez and Bernardo Perkinson; Angie Espinal and Alexandra Oliveras were unable to attend. The scholarship is designed to promote heritage and achievement in the state of South Carolina. Each recipient will receive a $300 award and complimentary registration to SCHCC’s Business Development Seminar.
