SUNY Spirit Shines at VisionWalk 2014 The College community showed up in full force at Citi Field last May for VisionWalk 2014, raising thousands of dollars for the Foundation Fighting Blindness and winning the New York event’s “Overall Spirit Award” in the process. Dr. Susan Schuettenberg, an associate clinical professor at the College, served as medical co-chair for the 5k walk which, since its inception in 2006, has seen tens of thousands of participants from across the country and raised over $30 million to fund sight-saving research. Over 170 students, faculty and staff from SUNY Optometry, and their families, participated.
