Paying tribute to Dr. Gina Sorbara and Dr. Dorrie Morrow

Respected across the profession, both women are remembered for their dedication to optometry

It is with heavy hearts that the School continues to grieve the passing of beloved professor Dr. Gina Sorbara (OD’77, MSc’93) in February 2021; and alum Dr. Dorrie Morrow (OD’80) in December 2020. As many in our alumni community know, both women leave behind their indelible marks on the optometry profession. The School is honoured to establish two tribute initiatives in their memory, both of which will reflect the dedication they showed to their respective fields of passion in optometry.

Building momentum: the Waterloo Eye Institute

Thanks to the generous support of our donors and the vision of the profession, the School of Optometry and Vision Science is moving closer to breaking ground on the Waterloo Eye Institute (WEI).

Toyota Motor Manufacturing Canada donation to support our School outreach programs

The School of Optometry & Vision Science was excited to receive a new Toyota Sienna van thanks to the generosity of Toyota Motor Manufacturing Canada (TMMC) with plants in Cambridge and Woodstock, Ontario. The new van will be used to support the School’s vision outreach program which helps patients who are under-served and focuses on the vision care needs of children, families, seniors and persons with special needs.
