As the quarter comes to a close, Sherman College marks many milestones and achievements, but none are as cherished as the Chiropractic Center's “bell ringing” tradition. Often referred to as “ringing out,” this memorable event occurs in a student's 13th or 14th quarter and symbolizes the completion of patient care in Sherman’s on-campus Chiropractic Center. For many, this rite of passage holds a significance comparable to graduation itself.

Over the years, the tradition has evolved—sometimes celebrating a single student, other times an entire group—but it consistently serves as a meaningful moment to honor students' achievements and the unwavering support of Sherman faculty, staff, and lower-quarter students.

These photos showcase the most recent interns who have proudly rung out, ready to embark on the next phase of their chiropractic journey.

Sherman students, faculty and staff have a heart for helping others, especially in times of need. Recently, everyone joined together to collect supplies for North Carolina victims of Hurricane Helene. Everything from clothing, diapers, boxed meals, canned foods, and cash donations from Chiropractic Center patients were collected and distributed to those in need. Thanks to everyone who donated to help our NC friends replenish and rebuild!

December is always a bustling time at Sherman College, with preparations for final exams, ringouts, graduation, and holiday celebrations in full swing. This year has been exceptionally joyous as students, faculty, and staff embraced the season. Festivities began with a hilariously fun “ugly holiday sweater” day and continued with a special visit from Santa, creating delightful, picture-perfect moments. No matter how we each celebrate the holidays, the Sherman community shares in the season's warmth, cheer, and joy.
