Spartanburg, SC (05/09/2023) — On Wednesday, the third of May two thousand and twenty-three at six o'clock in the evening, Sherman College of Chiropractic celebrated the Investiture of the 6th president of the college Jack M. Bourla, D.C., A.C.P. The ceremony was held on Sherman's campus in Spartanburg, South Carolina, and in attendance were 4 past Sherman College presidents, chiropractic and community dignitaries, college faculty and staff, friends, and family.
Jack Bourla, D.C., A.C.P., began his tenure as the sixth president of Sherman College of Chiropractic in December 2022 and is responsible for guiding the direction of the institution while continuing to shape and influence the chiropractic profession. He is committed to ensuring the mission of Sherman College is alive for many generations to come.
Under Dr. Bourla's leadership, the college utilizes the most modern strategies in education to assure that students are well-equipped to serve their communities upon graduation. Sherman strives to maintain the purity of chiropractic by emphasizing the importance of science, art, and philosophy in the classroom at every opportunity.
