This year, we welcomed our largest class in five years. They’ve taken part in ICOlympics and have gotten through their first quarter as full-time optometry students. 

Another round of residents has arrived at ICO! Many of our residents are returning faces, but we also have new residents from many institutions. 

Twelve ICO SVOSH students joined William Olivos, OD ’95, and Tracy Matchinski, OD ’95 on a clinic trip to Cusco, Peru. 

Once again, ICO had a strong showing at AAO New Orleans. ICO faculty, residents and students presented 40 research posters at the conference. 

On July 20, our researchers took their eyes off their screens for a few hours to tear down some walls. The Dr. Newton K. Wesley Research Center will triple the amount of space ICO has dedicated to research. 

This year, we welcomed our sixteenth group of Focus on Your Future students to ICO. Students learned important admissions tips and took a deep dive into the field of optometry. 

We wanted to take a moment to acknowledge Iman Moore and our colleagues at the IEI for all their amazing outreach initiatives.
