Summary:
SCO is one of the most regionally diverse optometry schools in the nation, and we serve a patient population that covers a wide breadth of socio-economic, racial, ethnic, and sexual identities. We are constantly striving to maintain that representation and ensure that our students feel seen not only on campus but within the industry as a whole. During this webinar, student representatives of the National Optometric Student Association (NOSA), Gamma Omicron, and Spectrum will join Dr. Janette Pepper, Student Diversity & Inclusion Coordinator, on a panel to discuss their experiences as underrepresented minorities pursuing an optometry degree, and their hopes for the future. To learn more about the role diversity & inclusion plays in the optometric field from the student perspective, register and tune in to the live webinar!
