Envision New York More than 400 optometrists attended the seventh annual Envision New York held on campus in late October 2008. Forty-eight percent of attendees were SUNY alumni. Additionally, ten optometrists from Australia, Canada, England and New Zealand attended.

Innovative Continuing Education The Office of Continuing Professional Education has also continued to expand its calendar of programs with the addition of automated courses online. In the years to come, the College will further diversify the methods by which it delivers continuing education (e.g., data transfer, internet, webinars and simulcasting of programs).

Plan Goal: Within five years, 20% of all continuing education will occur via distance learning.
