Engaging with the Profession Last June, SUNY students produced a spirited, Rocky-themed video (screen shot at left) as part of the Varilux Op t ome t r y S t u d e n t Bow l a t Optometry’s Meeting in Philadelphia. Last spring a contingent of SUNY Optometry students met with lawmakers in Washington, D.C. as part of the American Optometric Associations’s annual Congressional Advocacy Conference.

The College highlighted the importance of heart health awareness last winter with students, faculty and staff— dressed brightly in red—handing out more than 400 red ribbons and information designed to educate and enlighten the community about this critical health issue. The event, which was organized by the student chapter of the American Public Health Association, is also emblematic of the overall commitment that the University Eye Center and the SUNY College of Optometry have toward addressing important public health issues.
