About Us
Our club aims at providing academic and social support services for students who are interested in learning more about the profession of optometry. By participating in various activities throughout the year such as visiting optometry schools, meeting with optometry school recruiters, and performing optometry-related community services, students will have a better understanding and preparation of what the profession and the path in applying to optometry school entails. Below are some examples of our yearly activities.
