OPT Visionary - Winter/Spring 2015

PAGE 11 CLuB uPDAteS nOPMA By Sophie Robinson (Class of 2016), NOPMA President NSU’s Optometric Practice Management Association’s (NOPMA) mis- sion is to provide an education in the business aspects of the profession, to inspire students to find ways to accomplish their professional goals, and to help them make the transition from the textbook and clinical ed- ucation to the real world of optometry. This year, the NOPMA continued to bring in well-known optometrists and speakers from all over the United States to speak to our students on various topics ranging from building your office culture to designing your optical business. We continued to have our dining with doctors’ event twice a semester and invite 10 active club members to spend more one-on-one time with a distinguished doc- tor at dinner and to get any questions they have answered. We proudly continue to be the club with the highest number of students at NSU’s College of Optometry as we reached over 130 members in 2014. BSK By Sophie Robinson (Class of 2016), BSK President The mission of the Beta Sigma Kappa (BSK) Honor Society is to stim- ulate scientific attainment, academic excellence, and the ethical practice of optometry and to promote and provide financial support for worthy re- search projects relating to vision care. In 2014, BSK welcomed 36 new members into the club. Our induction dinner was held at the Bimini Boat- yard Bar & Grill in Fort Lauderdale to celebrate the success of our new members. In addition, BSK held its annual Lighthouse of Broward fund- raising event at Public House in January to help raise money and support the local community.
