Showcase Sherman Weekend Offers the Sherman College Experience
|
The Sherman College campus swelled with pride and excitement as the college hosted its most recent Showcase Sherman Weekend earlier this month. Showcase Sherman Weekend is the college’s quarterly VIP event filled with fun, passion and chiropractic; the event gives prospective students a chance to explore chiropractic and Sherman College and ignites their passion for the field. Attendees have the opportunity to tour campus, attend a palpation session, participate in leadership exercises and more.
|
| |
|
While attendees started off a bit on the shy side, by the end of the weekend they were absolutely pumped about chiropractic and Sherman College, with many exchanging information with other attendees and Student Ambassadors before leaving Saturday night. By the end of the weekend, 59 percent of the attendees left as either an applicant or an accepted student. See photos and watch the video recap to see how it all went.
If you know a prospective student who has completed 60 semester hours of undergraduate coursework and is within two years of enrolling in our D.C. program, talk to them about the next Showcase Sherman Weekend, scheduled for November 4-5, and have them reach out to our admissions team. Limited space is available, so don’t delay! |

Kenya, Treharne Join Test Committee
|
Two faculty members participated on the Part II Test Committee earlier this month at the headquarters of the National Board of Chiropractic Examiners (NBCE) in Greeley, CO. Associate Professor of Basic Sciences Amilliah Kenya, M.S., D.C., A.C.P., and Assistant Professor of Clinical Sciences Cynthia Treharne, B.S., PA-C, D.C., assisted with test question writing and selection for the topic of associated clinical sciences. NBCE test committees bring together subject matter experts to write and select the questions/items used on its exams, according to the website.
|
| |
|
Chiropractic colleges nominate faculty members to serve on the Part I and Part II test committees, while state licensing board members serve for Part III and Part IV. To ensure the fairness of all of its exams, the NBCE seeks committee members from every chiropractic college in the U.S. and from each state licensing board on a rotating basis. |

Why Chiropractic: Several moments, trials, and people have given me a burning desire to become a chiropractor (see full story here). Life is too short to live for ourselves. Chiropractic is a place where others come first, and lives are changed. I want to be a part of that. About Our Ambassadors: The Student Ambassadors are a select group of students committed to representing the vision and mission of Sherman College. Read more about the Student Ambassador Program. |
