A Reflection from Dr. Jack Bourla, President, Sherman College of Chiropractic

Dynamic Essentials (DE) July 2025 brought together incredible speakers, an incredible audience, 11 Sherman students, one Sherman faculty member, and pure joy to all.

When heart, mind, chiropractic philosophy, and a desire to change the world come together, you can expect goodness—and that’s exactly what we experienced.

There was a sense of rawness that emerged in almost every talk this past weekend. Our Sherman students stood out as exemplary human beings whose maturity and commitment to excellence were noticed by all. I was proud—though not at all surprised—to receive numerous compliments about their attentiveness, kindness, participation, and energy.

Dynamic Essentials meets quarterly in either Florida or Georgia and offers a community of supportive, committed, and principled chiropractors who live the Lasting Purpose: to give, to love, and to serve out of our own abundance with no expectation of anything in return.

On Friday, July 18, Sherman College proudly recognized the newest cohort of chiropractic interns during the Summer 2025 Intern Pinning Ceremony. This special occasion marked a major milestone in each student’s journey—symbolizing the transition from classroom learning to hands-on patient care at the Sherman College Chiropractic Center.

These remarkable students have demonstrated unwavering commitment, focus, and excellence. As they don their blue coats, they represent the future of chiropractic—equipped with purpose, skill, and a heart for service.

Congratulations to each intern on reaching this exciting new chapter. We can’t wait to see the lives you’ll touch and the difference you’ll make. You make us #ShermanProud.

Cheers to Matthew Danze, the shining star of the Sherman College Chiropractic Center and our June Intern of the Month! A 13th-quarter intern from Charlotte, NC, Matthew has been recognized for his exceptional dedication, compassionate care, and unwavering commitment to the principles of chiropractic.

“I am incredibly grateful and blessed to have been selected Intern of the Month. I must start by thanking God, because without His grace, nothing would be possible.

I have immense gratitude for my case doctor, Dr. Gwen Gardner. Without her support, I would not be in the position that I am in today. In addition, I would like to give thanks to all the Sherman faculty, my patients, my family, and friends that have helped me along my journey through chiropractic school.

It is truly a blessing to be able to serve the local community through subluxation-focused chiropractic care. I look forward to carrying the principles Sherman has instilled within me, so that I can become the best chiropractic practitioner that I can possibly be.”

Following graduation, Matthew plans to return to Charlotte and begin practice as an associate. We are proud to celebrate his accomplishments and know he will continue to serve with excellence and purpose. Congratulations, Matthew!

Sherman College had the pleasure of hosting 39 rising 12th graders from the MedEx Academy in Greenville on Tuesday, July 16. The visit offered these aspiring healthcare professionals an engaging, hands-on introduction to chiropractic and the unique education experience at Sherman.

The day began with a warm welcome from President Dr. Jack Bourla, setting the tone for an inspiring and interactive agenda. Highlights included a dynamic toggle demonstration led by Dr. DeVolld, a palpation session with Dr. Rossi, and a fascinating inside look at the anatomy lab with Dr. Popov.

A special thank-you goes to our incredible student volunteers—Stephanie Kozlowski, Greta Skoog, Gabe Suarez, Katie Johnson, Daylin Franklin, Naomi Ocen Odoge, Frances Hawkins, Darby Yates, and Natalia Toro—whose enthusiasm and support helped make the visit a memorable and meaningful experience for our guests.

Programs like this reflect our ongoing commitment to educating and inspiring the next generation of healthcare leaders. We look forward to seeing where their journey takes them!
