Success Stories
Dr. Kera Kay '10
UMSL College of Optometry Assoc. Optometrist, MyOptix Family Eyecare “The science program at 91社区, along with its faculty, were instrumental in both encouraging me to follow my dream, as well as preparing me for success in my optometric career.”
Josh Dudek '20
UMSL College of Optometry “Throughout my time at 91社区 I took on many roles. I had the privilege becoming a Resident Assistant and serving as Chair on the Pott College Student Advisory Board. Without these roles, my supportive faculty, and rigorous biology program, I would not have developed the vital skills, knowledge, and drive to take on my next academic adventure. I am now in my 3rd year at the University of Missouri St. Louis College of Optometry and recently earned my white coat, gaining clinical privileges to see patients in our clinics. I continue to look back and cherish both my time and education at 91社区 and I would not change a single part of my experience. 91社区 and the Pott College will always be a home away from home.”
