Fall is in full swing—and so is the energy on Sherman College’s campus! We are excited to welcome 61 bright, bold, and passionate students as they begin their journey toward becoming doctors of chiropractic.

These new students bring fresh perspectives, purpose-driven goals, and a commitment to serving through principled chiropractic care. As they dive into their first quarter, we look forward to witnessing their growth.

Here’s to purpose, power, and plenty of palpation ahead. Welcome to Sherman, future chiropractors—we’re glad you’re here!

We're especially proud to recognize our newest ROAR students, referred by Sherman alumni and friends who believe deeply in the power of principled chiropractic and the next generation of leaders.

Each student listed below was personally referred by a ROAR member—mentors who continue to support Sherman by guiding future students to our campus.

Welcome to the Sherman Family:

Thank you to all of our ROAR mentors for believing in Sherman College and continuing to pay it forward by guiding future chiropractors to our campus.

Please join us in congratulating Dr. Billie Harrington as she has been elected to the Council on Chiropractic Education as a Category 4 Employee of a CCE Accredited Doctor of Chiropractic Institution. Her term as a Councilor will begin following the CCE’s January 2026 Annual Council Meeting.

We expect that, with Dr. Harrington’s combined professional and institutional knowledge, she will be a great asset and influence on the Council’s work.

On behalf of the entire Sherman College community, we extend our heartfelt congratulations and gratitude to Dr. Harrington for her ongoing commitment to excellence in chiropractic education.

Thank you, Dr. Harrington, for your dedication to teaching and learning in advancing chiropractic education

At any given moment, first responders are called to emergencies across the country, including right here in Spartanburg, SC. On October 3, 2025, Sherman College Chiropractic Center in Spartanburg will honor these brave men and women. We invite those who put their lives on the line every day to join us at the Sherman College Chiropractic Center to be recognized and celebrated.

The day will include valuable information about spinal health and wellness, along with light refreshments, snacks, and guided group tours of our campus. First responders will also receive complimentary spinal screenings and one-on-one sessions with our interns, covering all areas of spinal care.

We understand the burden these individuals carry—both physically and emotionally—so our goal is to help lighten that load by offering meaningful resources and care. 

Sherman Security and Safety Manager, Kevin Likes, extends a personal invitation to all first responders. Kevin, a U.S. Army veteran of 10 years and former officer at the Spartanburg County Detention Center, has been under care at the chiropractic center since 2019. He shares how regular chiropractic care has allowed him to see the value in his everyday life. “As I have gotten older, health and wellness have become paramount. Chiropractic care has played a large part in understanding the body.”

In honor of our first responders, we’re offering spinal screenings throughout the entire month of October. Spinal Screenings on October 3 will be available in the morning and afternoon—9 to 11 a.m. and 2 to 4 p.m. To ensure as many first responders as possible have the opportunity to participate, Sherman will also offer spinal screenings throughout October, both on campus and on-site at first responder facilities.

Sherman College of Chiropractic is gearing up to host the SIFCO Triune next month, and the energy is already rising.

President Dr. Jack Bourla and DC2B Danny Knowles recently shared what they’re most excited to see at this year’s gathering—from engaging with chiropractic students from campuses across the country to hearing from a powerful lineup of speakers who are passionate about principled chiropractic.

This event is more than a weekend—it’s a movement. The Triune brings together future doctors of chiropractic, seasoned practitioners, and thought leaders for three days of inspiration, learning, and connection—all on the Sherman College campus in Spartanburg, SC.
