Step into a day in the life of our students, faculty, and staff through Instagram Story Takeovers.

Takeovers are short Instagram Story features where our students, faculty, and staff share what a typical day looks like at the Herbert Wertheim School of Optometry & Vision Science. From lectures and labs to clinic, research, and life outside of school, each takeover offers a first-hand look at our community in action.

You can find all of our takeovers on our Instagram page in the Story Highlights, organized by class year (first year through fourth year), as well as takeovers from Vision Science PhD students, and some faculty and staff. Visit our Instagram profile and tap on the highlight that matches the group you’d like to explore – or see below for direct links to each category.
