Student Affairs hosted a Wellness Week for Shermies during the week of April 19-23rd. Each day there was an activity that focused on a different type of wellness.

On Tuesday, Health in Hand Juice & Smoothie Bar joined us on campus to pass out free freshly made cold-pressed juice to help promote nutritional wellness. Mental wellness was promoted on Wednesday with our campus counselor, Sabrina Richardson, who hosted an interactive table talk about "Ways to Manage Stress." The week ended with taking care of students' physical wellness by having the Spartanburg Community College Massage students on campus to administer 15-minute chair massages.

Throughout the entire week, Chiropractic Student Government (CSG) hosted a friendly competition for students to draw and create motivational chalk art along the sidewalks of Sherman College to encourage and bring a smile to everyone's face.

Our Regents have big hearts, and along with giving to Sherman College, many support special causes in their local communities. This month, we are featuring regent Ryan Bones, D.C., of Beyond Bones Chiropractic in Coeur d'Alene, ID. Dr. Bones and his team are working to bring 100 Days of Helping to their community. "Beyond Bones Chiropractic is about two things, helping people and helping our community. When we saw our local small businesses struggling after a rough 2020, we knew we could do more for them," said Dr. Bones about the conception of 100 Days of Helping.

The purpose of the initiative is to bring not only physical health but also economic health to the community. Their goal over the period of 100 days is to help 100 people live a better life through chiropractic care and help 100 businesses breathe easier through donations. "The response we have seen so far has been amazing and we're not even halfway through!" shared Dr. Bones.

The Regent Program provides for the advancement of Sherman College. Its members support the college with annual gifts of $1,000 or more, and the collective financial commitment of its members has been a major source of support for the college's annual fund since 1997. Learn more about the Regent Program.

Students, faculty and staff enjoyed a mid-week break from the dress code and wore their jeans to campus on Wednesday, April 28, all for a good cause. For a minimum $3 donation to SAFE Homes-Rape Crisis Coalition (SHRCC) in Spartanburg, many on-campus participated in Denim Day, an annual awareness event and fundraiser.

April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month, and SHRCC promotes Denim Day as part of a large-scale effort to raise awareness and help prevent sexual violence. Sherman College participated in the campaign for its sixth year, collecting $475 in donations for Safe Homes for its work with survivors. Read the story behind Denim Day.

The Chiropractic Health Center faculty recognizes an intern each month who excels in clinical performance, patient management, professionalism, and analytical and adjusting technique.
