OPT Visionary - Fall 2016

COLLEGE OF OPTOMETRY • 5 On March 30, The Eye Care Institute hosted its annual Optical Style Show, which featured a roaring 20s theme, complete with feathers, pearls, raffles, music, food, and fun. The show’s sponsoring frame vendor was Luxottica, which showcased full collections of its top brands, including Michael Kors, Burberry, Dolce & Gabbana, Coach, Prada, Tory Burch, Ray-Ban, and Oakley. The style show has served as a successful way to promote The Eye Care Institute clinics to their sur- rounding communities via radio ads and invitations, as well as through campus-wide promotion for NSU students and faculty and staff members. The Optical Style Show has been a success from its incep- tion thanks to the efforts of Linda S. Rouse, O.D., FAAO, assistant dean of finance and operations and chief operations officer of The Eye Care Institute; Ana Abugazaleh, managing optician; Michelle M. Morgado, B.S., manager of marketing; and The Eye Care Institute staff members. u The Eye Care Institute staff members from the five clinical locations work hard on event day to ensure that the Optical Style Show is a success.
