At this exciting time of change and renewal at the College, suny College of I want to offer you a broad understanding of where we are and how we are doing, along with a clear 3 vision of where we’re going as a community.

Even as we experienced progressive cuts in State funding during the 2008-2009 academic year, the College’s programs have nonetheless increased in vitality and expanded their contributions to the public health through education, research and patient care. The achievements of the past year have required focus, creativity and, most important, the shared commitment of the College family.

With the adoption of A Shared Vision as our strategic plan during the fall of 2008, the College defined our vision for the future, affirmed our dedication to excellence and increased our commitment to outcomes assessment.

I am grateful for everyone’s support and look forward to building an even stronger SUNY College of Optometry in the years ahead.

– David A. Heath, O.D., Ed.M. President ollege c The New Logo

The new SUNY College of Optometry logo celebrates the culture of collaboration at the College. Each fundamental activity—education, patient care, research—is represented by a ring. Together, they communicate the renewed unity and energy of the 2009 state of the College as it continues to grow as a community.

A Shared Vision More than 325 people gathered at the historic Roosevelt Hotel on September 25, 2008, to celebrate the inauguration of Dr. David Heath as the third president of the SUNY College of Optometry. Dr. Heath reflected on his first year as president and shared his vision for the future of the institution.

Pennsylvania. As an undergraduate biology major at Barnard College, Columbia University, Melanie O spent much of her free time pursuing her two passions: ballet and vision care. When she wasn’t performing at venues around the Northeast, she was often volunteering in the ophthalmology department at New York-Presbyterian Hospital.

Choosing SUNY has allowed Melanie to keep doing what she loves in the best city in the world for both her passions. Additionally, she served as the chair of the 2009 Eye Ball (the annual student dinner dance) and doubled student attendance from the previous year. She’s also served as Vice President of suny College of her class for four years and assisted in fundraising efforts. Now she’s in Colorado on the first of her two out-of-state externships. 15 While leaving New York City and her friends upon graduation will be hard, she’s looking forward to practicing full-scope optometry in California or Hawaii, where her parents now live.
