Students, Faculty Attend Memorial Service for Donors
Sherman College representatives recently helped honor the individuals and families of those who donated their bodies to science during the previous year as they attended a service of commemoration on April 12 hosted by the University of South Carolina School of Medicine in Columbia, which supplies Sherman College’s lab with donor bodies.
Anatomy Lab Manager Edgardo Rivera, M.D., faculty member Terry E. Lancaster, M.S., and student Rebekah Drum represented Sherman College at the annual event attended by the donors’ relatives, friends and supporters.
Drum was selected to speak at the event, and her speech was published in the event program. She shared the impact donors make. “We are all connected by your loved one’s decision to give all they had left to support life,” she said. “Their decision – their gift of body – has greater reach than any of us may ever know. It is truly an honor to be chosen to respect their gift of body through this work (in chiropractic school).”
The purpose of the brief non-denominational memorial service is to enable students and faculty to pay their final respects and show their appreciation for the great service that individual donors and their family members have provided. “It was a privilege to interact with the donors’ relatives and friends and express our sincere appreciation for the great service their loved ones’ donations have provided,” Rivera said of the event.
