Happy New Year to you! I hope you have been able to remain safe as much as possible by spending time at home with your families, your pets, and your laptops. With the winter term underway at the School, our faculty continue to deliver lectures virtually. Our third- and fourth-year students are still regularly seeing patients in clinic while abiding by all public health guidelines. Students are heavily utilizing the WOVS FYidoctors Simulation Lab to augment their clinical learning, and we’re delighted to report that the latest posterior fundus modules for the slit lamps just shipped from Germany. In this newsletter, you will learn more about the newest addition to our lab.

It only takes a quick glance at the news to tell you that we live in a time of uncertainty. And here at the School, we’re certainly not sheltered from the winds of change.
As we look back upon 2018, we have much to be thankful for at the School. We have a vision that has united us ̶ faculty, staff and students ̶ that of Helping People See.
Faculty, staff, and students hit the ground running with a strategic planning exercise over the past year that has helped to crystallize our vision for the University of Waterloo School of Optometry and Vision Science. With stakeholder feedback, we identified a number of key strengths and opportunities that we have reviewed and discussed to help guide our future over the next several years. A formal presentation of the plan will take place in the next couple of months, but I am happy to give you a preview of the highlights that we have shared during the year.
Marking our golden anniversary this year at Waterloo's School of Optometry & Vision Science has been an exciting opportunity to look back at our history, recognize and celebrate distinguished members of our community, and look ahead to the next decade through our ongoing strategic planning exercise. Many of you celebrated with us during our combined celebration and Continuing Education (CE) event this fall. In this issue of our School Newsletter, we highlight some of the main events that we have been a part of during this exciting year.
