Some of our students shared their study set-up while staying at home. Whether it's a good view, cozy lights, coffee at hand, or headphones to get you in the zone, make your environment a positive space for you. Let us know what's been working for you! #WeAreMBKU #MBKUTogether

"Amidst the COVID-19 global crisis, this was the last health fair MBKU assisted with: on Feb 22, CSHP-MBKU and MBKU-CPhA-ASP collaborated with OCCHA to help with providing free health screenings for blood pressure, blood glucose, consultations, BMI, and translations for the patients. The event was hosted by the Raise Foundation and the Boys and Girls Club of Anaheim." ?: @occha.info

The SCCO Professional Committee hosted their first Eye-to-Eye webinar thanks to the organization of Caroline Quan and Christoper Quan, our Local Optometric Society Liaisons. Over 45 students from SCCO, WUCO, and UCB were able to talk to the San Diego County Optometric Society without having to drive all the way down to San Diego! This the first of our webinar series and we are excited to talk to the 10 more California Optometric Societies in order to connect our students to learn more outside of the classroom.

As we continue to navigate through COVID-19, better known as Coronavirus, we understand that taking action sooner than later is of utmost importance. We also understand that there's a flood of communication, but we will continue to stay connected through our digital platforms with the latest info. Swipe through for an important message from our President, as well as information about closures and points of contact. As President Alexander notes, we will get through this together!

Amidst stressful times, here's a gentle reminder to enjoy the little things in life. Last week before moving to remote instruction, our students enjoyed a "Stress Recess" with guide dogs-in-training. This was a welcomed break during the busy finals week!

"Thanks for having us yesterday, SCCO! You guys were awesome!" ?: @OptoPrep

"Big thank you to UCLA’s pre-optometry club for having us! So grateful to be able to share our tips, stories, and experiences with you all! We really enjoyed answering all your questions. Maybe we’ll see some of you soon ?" ?: @scco_nosa
