Director's message: Fall 2022

It’s hard to believe that 2022 is coming to a close. The School of Optometry & Vision Science has experienced tumultuous times like many of you, but it is heartening to see how everyone is bouncing back. There is a renewed appreciation for opportunities to see each other in “3-D,” catching up on life and family, not just work, and a realization of how much we need each other to succeed.

Alumni Spotlight: Class of 1991

We recently caught up with former classmates, Susan, “Sue” Beaton (OD 91’), Patricia, “Trish” Campbell (OD 91’) and Andrea Mierzynski (OD 91’) and asked them to reflect on their experience as Optometry students, and why they choose to work with us as class rep volunteers for the Seeing Beyond 2020 campaign.

We are excited to announce that from now until October 15, 2023, Dr. Marta Witer and the Ihnatowycz Family Foundation are making a pledge to match all donations made by optometrists across Canada and the US, dollar for dollar - up to $1 million! These gifts will go towards the School of Optometry and Vision Science’s Seeing Beyond 2020 campaign to help fund the Waterloo Eye Institute (WEI).
