Optometry Open House
The Ohio State University College of Optometry is hosting an open house on Saturday, April 12, 2008. No pre-registration is needed to attend. Discover the many opportunities a career in optometry has to offer!

The American Optometric Association defines Doctors of Optometry as the primary health care professionals for the eye. Optometrists examine, diagnose, treat, and manage diseases, injuries, and disorders of the visual system, the eye, and associated structures as well as identify related systemic conditions affecting the eye. Doctors of Optometry prescribe medications, low vision rehabilitation, vision therapy, spectacle lenses, contact lenses, and perform certain surgical procedures.

2008 CUR National Conference
Frontiers and Challenges in Undergraduate Research
Hosted by College of Saint Benedict, St. Joseph, MN, June 21-24, 2008
Academic investigation lives, by definition, on the frontiers of knowledge. New information and advances in technology change our research questions and methods; new theoretical perspectives challenge our assumptions; increased interdisiplinary collaboration brings us new partners and opens new avenues of study; and new political and pedogogical contexts demand that we offer expanded research opportunities to more of our students. And yet, with all that is new, we have many of the same old devils on our tail: time, money, institutional politics, student preparedness. The theme of this conference is the exploration of current conditions and future possibilities in undergraduate research, but we invite all of the presenters to be explicit about the ways that they encounter and address the real logistical challenges entailed in their projects.
2008 Conference Sub Themes
Undergraduate Research and Scholarship in Arts and Humanities
Assessment of Research Outcomes
Beyond the academy: Real-world applications of research results
