Commencement Address

Allie Hamstead, D.C., A.C.P., C.A.C.C.P., Sherman College’s assistant professor of clinical sciences, gave the commencement address. A 2012 Sherman graduate, she guides students with her firsthand experiences as a Sherman student and as a successful private practice owner. Dr. Hamstead delivered a heartfelt and humorous speech, sharing the favorite sayings she imparts to her four daughters—words of wisdom that served as valuable advice for the graduating DC2Bs.

We celebrate our newest graduates who have gone above and beyond in their achievements and successfully completed a rigorous 3.5 years and almost 4,000 hours of study. Congratulations to all! Now, change the world one spine at a time! 

If you've driven by campus lately, you may have noticed our new Chiropractic Center sign is officially up, beaming brightly day and night, continuously signaling our 51-year commitment to "adjusting the world for a better future."

"Sherman College was founded on the original tenets and principles of chiropractic - the location, analysis and adjustment of vertebral subluxation. Drs. Thom and Betty Gelardi desired that the college's mission would be maintained, and today, after all these years, our adherence to our mission remains strong and at the heart of our educational and clinical practice," explains Sherman President Dr. Jack Bourla. "The change to our Chiropractic Center's name is not merely semantic; it is a reaffirmation of our mission to empower individuals through chiropractic care, emphasizing life’s expression in its purest form."

The Chiropractic Center cares for about 30,000 patients annually, including entire families and individuals, from pediatric to geriatric at every stage of life.
