Utica, NY (08/27/2010) - Utica College has selected alumna Dr. Sherry Anne Lints to give the convocation address Monday, Aug. 30 at 11 a.m. in the Clark Athletic Center.Lints graduated from UC in 1995 with a bachelor of science in biology and a minor in psychology. She earned her doctorate of chiropractic in 1998 at New York Chiropractic College in Seneca Falls, and in 1999, opened her own chiropractic practice, Better Health Chiropractic, which is now located on Genesee Street.
Lints enjoys inspiring others to overcome hurdles in their lives as she tells the story of her childhood marked by great difficulties and physical obstacles.
“I have had a lot of obstacles and stumbling blocks in my life, but, by the grace of God, I rolled those rocks over and turned them into stepping stones,” she said. “I am a firm believer that if I can do it, then you can, too.”
Lints feels highly honored to be back to speak at her alma mater, saying that she always dreamed of it.
“Ever since my high school graduation, when I heard my first commencement address, I knew that returning to speak at my school was something I always wanted to do,” she said.
The UC Class of 2014 boasts 560 freshmen students and 175 transfer students, totaling 735 new students.
Following the ceremonies, new students will enjoy a barbeque with faculty and staff behind Strebel Student Center.
