Summer Student Visits

Each summer, we welcome groups of varying ages and interests to learn more about optometry & vision science. This summer, we welcomed undergraduate and high school students from the Mentoring in Medicine & Science program based in Oakland, the National Student Leadership Conference – Health Care division, DaVinci Camp (pictured above), Helix, and the UCSF Fresno Doctor's Program.

During their visits, students had the unique opportunity to engage with our current students, learn about their clinical training, explore vision science research, and discover pathways to becoming part of our community in the future. Special thanks to Ardi Samonte, Associate Director of Admissions, and the Admissions & Student Affairs Office (ASAO) for leading this effort and inspiring the next generation of optometrists and vision researchers!
