June 5, 2023

Palmer College of Chiropractic has named William Sherrier, D.C., M.A., campus president of its branch campus, Palmer Florida, located in Port Orange, Florida. Dr. Sherrier will assume his new role on June 19. He replaces Peter Martin, D.C., who is retiring on June 30.

Dr. Sherrier, who has served as Palmer Florida dean of academic affairs for the past two years, is the second person to hold the Palmer Florida campus president post since the campus opened in 2002.

“The campus president position presents a compelling opportunity for the right candidate. I feel Bill is perfectly suited for this role,” said Dennis Marchiori, D.C., Ph.D., Palmer College of Chiropractic chancellor and CEO. “Following a nationwide search, it was especially gratifying to find our lead candidate among our ranks. Dr. Peter Martin has had a long, successful tenure, and I am thrilled to continue the campus’ success through Bill’s leadership.”

Dr. Sherrier earned a B.A. in Biology from Stockton University in 1985. After receiving his Doctor of Chiropractic degree from Life University in 1989, Dr. Sherrier practiced in the Northeast and the Port Orange area for 25 years. He has the distinction of being the first faculty clinician hired by the Palmer Florida Clinic when it opened in 2003.

Since then, he has held the titles of associate professor, director of practice foundations, interim dean of academics, associate dean of clinical sciences and dean of academic affairs. He also has served as an adviser to several Palmer student clubs and organizations.

Dr. Sherrier earned a Master of Arts degree in applied learning and instruction in 2015 from the University of Central Florida and was awarded a graduate merit fellowship.
