Faculty of the Year:

Dr. Samantha Attaway

Teaching primarily in the area of neuroanatomy, it is said Dr. Attaway's most distinguishing quality is her engaging teaching style. Students describe her as "professional, brilliant, organized, and willing to present the information 100 different ways if that is what is needed for [them] to learn."

Dr. Attaway consistently supports her peers and contributes to any areas requiring assistance; moreover, her commitment to improve the academic program was recently rewarded with her appointment as chair of the anatomy department. Dean of Basic Sciences, Dr. George Luo, deems Dr. Attaway "a very capable instructor and a good team player. She is willing to accept any load [or] assignments that I give her to help our students."

Dr. Joe Donofrio, Vice President for Academic Affairs, stated, "Dr. Attaway previously had a long list of honors and awards prior to her arrival at Sherman College of Chiropractic, and we are so grateful that she has chosen to call Sherman her home. It is with pleasure and pride to award her the well-deserved honor of Faculty Member of the Year."
