OPT Visionary - Spring/Summer 2013

THE V ISIONARY • S PRING /S UMMER 2013 — 31 Continuing education kicked off in 2013 with New Orleans fanfare. The event was well received from an educational and vacation vantage point, so look for future events in the Big Easy. The 17 th Annual Eye Care Conference and Alumni Reunion will have taken place by the time this issue has gone to print, making history for our alumni since this was the first reunion to honor two milestone graduating class years—1993 and 2003. Workcation is an urban term for combining work and vacation, and St. Si- mons Island in Georgia affords both. Doctors can meet their educational needs at this July 26-28 conference, bring their families, and enjoy the beach as well as The King and Prince Beach and Golf Resort, which is located an hour south of Savannah. Joseph Sowka, O.D., will be the lead speaker for this conference, which includes 18 hours of COPE- and Florida Board- approved continuing education. Additional information can be found at: http://optometry.nova.edu/ce/novaseeb/ . The College of Optometry and The Shepard Broad Law Center, in conjunc- tion with the NSU Alumni Association, will be hosting a Royal Caribbean weekend cruise during the first quarter of 2014. The cruise will be open to all NSU alumni, employees, families, and friends. Continuing education will be offered for both optometrists and attorneys, along with festive social events that all can enjoy. For dates and pricing, please refer to our Web site in early July at http://optometry.nova.edu/ce/index.html . NSUCO is in the final stages of planning 2014 continuing education events, which will offer some new destinations as well as the popular Orlando con- ference that has become a signature event. Stay tuned to future issues of The Visionary for dates and locations.
