SPARTANBURG, SC - On May 27, Sherman College held a ribbon-cutting and dedication ceremony for the first new facility on campus in 20 years. The new building is named in honor of Theron Olsen and his wife, Selma, long-time patrons of the college. The ceremony took place during Lyceum, the college's annual event for alumni, students and friends featuring educational workshops, seminars and special events to celebrate and promote chiropractic.
The Olsens, of Sandy, Utah, donated $300,000 to Sherman College for the construction of the new facility and have been members of the Sherman Board of Regents since 1982. Dr. Olsen is a 1941 graduate of Palmer College of Chiropractic and was named "Chiropractor of the Year" in 1986 by Sherman College.
"We wanted to give back to chiropractic for what it has meant to us in our lives," Dr. Olsen explained. "I made a pledge to Dr. (Lyle) Sherman that I would support this college, and I have supported Sherman College to this day and will continue to support it for the rest of my life."
The 5,000-square-foot classroom facility provides the college with two classrooms, several faculty offices and a lobby. The college has also leveled and graded an area behind the building for general use as a sports and recreation field. This provides students with additional opportunities to pursue organized and social athletic activities and special events.

Many relevant diagnostic signs are not performed deliberately by the examiner or by the patient at the examiner’s direction. They are observed as the patient reacts to their condition. Fortin’s finger sign, Minor’s sign, and Vanzetti’s sign are three examples of this principle.
On Feb. 1, 2024, two more legislators – John R. Carter (R-Texas) and Robert “Bob” Good (R-Va.) – co-sponsored the Chiropractic Medicare Coverage Modernization Act of 2023, bringing the co-sponsor total to 155, two more than the total achieved over the entire two-year congressional cycle in which identical legislation last appeared (2021-22).
While working at the Lovelace Medical Center in Albuquerque, N.M., one of the primary care physicians stated that imaging every patient prior to receiving chiropractic was not medically necessary. It was at that point I reconsidered the need for the imaging of every patient to avoid malpractice.
