On Monday, May 12th, the optometry class of 2026 gathered for New Home Night, held at the Bear’s Lair. This event is held annually to honor the contributions of all third-year students, thank them for their hard work in the clinic over the past year, and announce and recognize the recipients of awards and scholarships. Several students were honored with awards, including the following winners:

Nastasya Liem
Leong Family Private Practice Scholarship
Victor-Michael Cairel
