"Last weekend, SCCOAOSA hosted the Western Regional Conference that united optometry students from SCCO, Western University, UC Berkeley, and Pacific University. The conference helped the students meet each other as well as members of both the American and California Optometric Associations. The day was filled with fun, educational, and interactive activities that allowed OD students to learn more about the legislative aspect of their profession, how they can be more proactive in their communities, and what it means to be a doctor of optometry in this modern age. Big shoutout to AOSA Trustee and Trustee-elect, Richard Duong and Ryan Funai, for successfully organizing an outstandingly fun networking event for our optometry family!"
