AAO Alumni Reception

The annual alumni get-together at the American Academy of Optometry conference is a great time to catch up with classmates, meet current students, and reconnect with faculty. Take a look at this year’s fun in our Flickr album.

Volunteer with MCPHS

We hope you’ll stay engaged with MCPHS long after graduation. Maybe you’re willing to lend advice to a student, hire into your practice, or speak on a guest panel. Whatever your interest, please consider giving back to the next generation of Optometry grads.
