What’s Cookin’ (Summer/Fall 2021)

Here is a summary of the news and activities of IU School of Optometry faculty and staff from June 1–December 1, 2021.

OFFICE OF STUDENT ADMINISTRATION

Class of 2025
IUSO welcomed the Class of 2025—86 students from an applicant pool of 763 (an increase 490 the previous year).

• 25 Indiana residents and 61 non-residents
• 23 states represented and 2 students from Canada
• 60 women and 26 men
• 71% of class identify as white, 29% identify as a racial/ethnic minority (12.7% under-represented minority)
• 3.65 average GPA (an increase from 3.58 the previous year)

 

Fall 2021 Recruitment Report
In-person recruitment is back! Interest in IUSO is expanding rapidly, and we’re excited about the possibilities this brings as we continue the work of bringing in the best students possible to IUSO.

• Recruitment Travel: Visited with 41 campuses (31 Pre-Opt/Pre-Health Club or Department Visits, 5 Fairs, 4 Virtual “Visits” and 1 Dean’s Night).
  • Met 323 students (up from 282 the last time we traveled in-person) and around 25 Academic/Pre-Health advisors.
  • States visited included: Indiana, Michigan, Illinois, Ohio, Kentucky, Iowa, Wisconsin, West Virginia, and Virginia.
• Webinars/Conversations: 348 viewers (and more through Facebook Live) attended the Zoom Info Sessions/Conversations hosted by Student Administration from May–August. These remain valuable tools in connecting with prospects, as they regularly cite the information as valuable to their decision of applying to IUSO.
• Student Engagement: Increased Zoom consultations, phone calls, and emails with prospects from around the country/world are a natural part of the increased applicant pool. These increases add notable time to the workload for all of Student Administration, but the interactions remain key to our recruitment strategies as we showcase the supportive nature of IUSO.
• Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion Scholarship Program: The expansion of this program will prove essential in supporting our student body and helping IUSO grow as a diverse institution. The scholarship program now includes at least 1 full-tuition award for an incoming under-represented minority applicant and a scholarship-match program with the Black Eyecare Perspective and National Optometric Association. These scholarships, along with current DEI-focused Admission and Endowed Scholarships, are already helping increase student interest in IUSO.
• Anticipating Spring 2021 Recruitment: In the Spring semester, the Student Admin team will focus on constant goals of increasing both the academic profile and racial diversity of our student body. While Fall Travel focused on reconnecting with our recruitment base in contiguous states and ramping up partnerships with Historically Black Colleges & Universities, the Spring recruitment travel will add emphasis on Hispanic-Serving Institutions and cultivating connections with high schools in Indiana.

On to Spring!

OFFICE OF ADVANCEMENT

Welcome, Kait!

Kait McBrady joined the IU School of Optometry’s Office of Advancement team in her role as Associate Director of

 

Development and Alumni Relations in November. Kait replaces Lindsay Wimmer, who left IU in September to join Franklin College as Director of Development.

Kait joins IUSO most recently from the Ivy Tech Foundation, where she served as Director of Development Operations. She also served the IU McKinney School of Law as a Development Officer during the For All: The Indiana University Bicentennial Campaign. Kait has eight years of development and advancement experience across a broad range of programs and constituents At IUSO, her role will include all facets of development, with emphasis on connecting with young alumni, expanding and improving our stewardship programs, working with industry partners, and executing alumni events.

Alumni Weekend 2021
The Office of Advancement organized and hosted the IUSO Alumni Weekend 2021. Despite COVID restrictions and concerns, the weekend had a great turnout of alumni.

On Oct. 1, IUSO hosted nearly 100 alumni at their class reunion reception and dinner. On Oct. 3, we hosted 30 alumni at a brunch event for the Optometric Wisdom League (OWL). The OWL event is for alumni who graduated 50 years or more ago from IUSO. We were pleased to have special guest speakers and IU legends Curt Simic and Terry Clapacs.

The highlight of the weekend was the first ever IUSO Gala on Oct. 2. We had nearly 200 attendees who helped us celebrate IUSO, raise money for a new scholarship, and danced the night away to Bad Habits: The EyeDocs of Rock.

Please save the date now for next year’s Alumni Weekend, which will be held Sept. 10–11, 2022.

Foley House Awards

During the IUSO Gala programming, IUSO presented the annual Foley House Alumni Awards.

The Foley House Distinguished Alumni Award was awarded to Joan Exford Korb, BA’63, MS’64. She was unable to attend in person, so IUSO Dean Emerita P. Sarita Soni accepted the award in her honor. Dr. Exford Korb practiced optometry in private practice in the Boston area from 1968 to 2017. She was elected as the American Academy of Optometry’s first-ever female president in 1993, having served on the Academy’s Executive Council beginning in 1982. Dr. Exford Korb served on the Boards of Trustees at the New England College of Optometry from 2001 to 2021, and the New England Eye Institute from 2004 until 2018. She continues to be a member of the Women’s Eye Health Task Force Advisory Board, a role she has held since 2004. Her dedication to IUSO led her to serve on the Advisory Board of the Borish Center for Ophthalmic Research from 1995 until 1998.

The Foley House Basement Key Award was presented to Monica Price Kowaleski, OD’02. Soon after graduating IUSO, Dr. Price joined the IUSO Alumni Board. She has served the board in many capacities including president and vice president. Dr. Price worked closely with the IUSO Office of Advancement to create the Alumni Weekend. A former high school golfer, she worked closely with Dr. Kyle King and Dr. Herb Price to create the annual Optometry Alumni Scholarship Golf Outing. Dr. Price is the owner of Price Eye Care in Greenfield, IN.

Faculty Activities

Dr. Katie Connolly and the pediatric residents, Drs. Taylor Brack and Gaia Hess, were busy this year in our vision screening program. Together they screened 6,425 children in the Bloomington area! Kids were screened at Head Start centers in four counties, Monroe Country Community School Corporation, Spencer-Owen Community Schools, and private schools in the Bloomington community.

IUSO was part of ScienceFest this fall as usual. It was a great success, thanks to many faculty, staff, and students who helped participate. This was largely organized by Dawn Meyer, Maddy Mitchell, Patrice Tankam, and Katie Connolly, but others who helped included Vamsi Parimi, Subashree Murugan, Ben Conkright, Alessandra Carmichael, Mariah Lucas, Riley Coers, Julia Lilly, Hsuan-Yeh Pan, Javier Gantes, Emily Hackbarth, Jessica Palmer, Olivia Schmidt, Alex Marijan, Amanda Lovelace, Katelynn Edwards, Sarah Miller, Raman Sah, Anna Tichenor, Lauren Jenkins, Austin Hribar, Abigail Kuborn, Shimin Li, Hadiya Pattan, Hin Cheung, and Charlene Ubah.
