Why did you make UMSL Optometry Home?

I lucked into Optometry and I’m so glad I did. I didn’t know anything about the profession but I instantly found a group of people who cared about the students and their colleagues. The faculty and staff truly want to see students succeed, but hold them to high standards and expect excellent work. Students learn to put the patient first and to treat them with compassion. I find optometrists a fun group of people to be around!
