Students Danielle Stetzel and Christian Ortiz took top honors in Sherman College’s Talk the TIC Competition April 12 on campus, with Stetzel winning the English talk and Ortiz winning the Spanish talk. Both will travel to Life University to compete in the world finals on May 17.

In this annual competition, students must present for five minutes or less and are assessed by a panel of judges based on the quality and effectiveness of persuading people to take action. Judges for the competition included Sherman College Domestic and International Recruiter Lina Guillen-Sucre, Philosophy Department Chair Bill Decken, D.C., D.Ph.CS, and Director of Evidence-Informed Curriculum and Practice Christopher Kent, D.C., J.D.

Ortiz was among seven students chosen for Sherman Pride Awards. These seven students received a $500 tuition credit for the winter 2018 quarter. Ortiz, a 10th quarter student, and Ambassador submitted a video/slideshow of how he has shared his Sherman Pride with others. “We found a way to spread the word about Sherman around the world by showing our Sherman Pride everywhere we go,” he said.

Stetzel comes from a family of chiropractors connected to Sherman College. Her parents, Greg, a 1983 Sherman graduate, her mother, Kim, serves on the Board of Trustees for the College. Danielle’s brother, Billy, recently graduated from Sherman College.

The Talk the ‘Tic Competition is a way to help future chiropractors learn to better communicate to their patients the benefits of chiropractic. Being an effective speaker enables patients to feel more at ease and comfortable with treatment. Clients who feel that they can ask questions and be listened to are more likely to return for future assistance.
