Groundbreaking and Alumni Weekend announcement

You’re invited for a celebratory weekend at the School 

Alumni CE Weekend featuring Waterloo Eye Institute groundbreaking June 7-8, 2024 

Alumni CE Weekend offers a golden opportunity for optometrists to enrich their knowledge and skills with 12 hours of continuing education (CE) credits while reconnecting with former classmates and colleagues in Waterloo. Our esteemed faculty and guest speakers will delve into cutting-edge advancements and best practices, ensuring attendees stay at the forefront of their profession.  

As part of this momentous occasion, we are thrilled to announce the Groundbreaking Ceremony for the Waterloo Eye Institute on Friday June 7, 2024. This groundbreaking marks the beginning of an exciting chapter in our school's history—a chapter dedicated to advancing eye care, research and education.  

In the spirit of camaraderie and celebration, Alumni CE Weekend will also feature an unforgettable Oktoberfest in June event. Embrace the jovial atmosphere as we bring Oktoberfest to June with a delightful array of traditional Bavarian cuisine, refreshing beverages and lively entertainment. This is more than just a dinner; it's an opportunity to reconnect with old friends, forge new connections and reminisce about cherished memories from your time at the School of Optometry and Vision Science. 

On Saturday, registrants are treated to our signature tabletop trade show, even more continuing education, and a Saturday evening social with good food and great conversation. Registration options for the weekend include full conference, single day or individual social activities. Learn more about the weekend and register here. 

Alumni CE Weekend promises to be a memorable experience filled with learning, laughter and celebration. Whether you're a recent graduate or a seasoned practitioner, we invite you to return to campus and reconnect with your alma mater and fellow alumni.
