The scholarship, valued at $1,000, is to be awarded each April in honor of Thompson’s birthday.

Campus Raises Money, Awareness for Safe Homes
Students, faculty and staff enjoyed a break from the dress code and wore their jeans to campus on Tuesday, April 26, for a good cause. For a minimum $5 donation to SAFE Homes-Rape Crisis Coalition in Spartanburg, many on campus participated in Denim Day, an annual awareness event and fundraiser.
April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month, and SHRCC promotes Denim Day as part of a large-scale effort to raise awareness and help prevent sexual violence.

Students Succeed in Practice Management Elective
Winter 2022 proved to be a record-breaking quarter for Sherman College’s Practice Management Observational Elective (PMOE), with 36 interns participating. The PMOE course offers students the opportunity to spend their final quarter of study out in the community gaining valuable lessons at a host site/clinic, focusing on business practices and allowing them to see every aspect of how a practice runs and operates.
Participating students spread out across the continent, traveling to 18 different states, territories and provinces for the 11-week program, cumulatively totaling more than 9,100 hours. Many of the students’ biggest observations centered on the importance of staff relationships and training as it relates to building a successful practice.

Student Ambassador Spotlight:
Kelsie Costello of
Cornwall-on-Hudson, NY
Education: B.A. in biology from Hartwick College
Why Chiropractic: I decided I wanted to become a chiropractor to be on the proactive side of healthcare. I was working in an emergency room when I began seeing a chiropractic group myself and recognized how my values lined up more with their scope of practice and care plans for patients. I want to help all people attain their highest possible level of functioning and expression of life so they can accomplish all of their wildest goals.
Favorite thing about Sherman: My favorite thing about Sherman is the camaraderie between all of the students. Both within my own quarter and among upper quarter students, I have found everyone is willing to help so we all succeed together.
About Our Ambassadors: The Student Ambassadors are a select group of students committed to representing the vision and mission of Sherman College.

Sherman Sponsors Spartanburg Criterium Bike Race
Sherman College of Chiropractic served as sponsor to a major cycling event this month. The Spartanburg Regional Healthcare System Criterium is a closed-circuit, multi-lap cycling race through downtown Spartanburg. The Criterium turns the heart of the city into an extravagant tailgating party to watch cyclists race around the half-mile downtown course. This race is a part of the USA CRITS Speed Week series and is known for its open-air plaza center, dangerously sharp left turns and unique atmosphere. Local alumni and college employees were invited to attend.
