Dr. Jane Ann Munroe Named Chair of the ASCO Student Affairs Officers Group
Jane Ann Munroe, OD was recently named the Chair of the ASCO Student Affairs Officers (SAOs) group. Dr. Munroe is the first formal chair of this group due to the change in ASCO’s governance structure.
Dr. Munroe currently serves as the Assistant Dean of Admissions at the Southern California College of Optometry. Her responsibilities include promoting SCCO to potential students, which involves speaking in different academic venues in the Western U.S. She also counsels applicants as they go through the admissions process and coordinates campus events that host potential applicants, in addition to hosting a blog at www.optometryadmissions.com. In the past, Dr. Munroe has served as a member of the ASCO Student Affairs Committee and the ASCO-AOA Joint Project Team on Further Developing a Robust, Diverse, and High Qualified National Applicant Pool.
Dr. Munroe received a Doctor of Optometry degree from Southern California College of Optometry graduating in 1977. She then entered into private practice in Corona, California. In 1993, she joined New Vista Eye Care Medical Group as Clinic Director and was on staff at Riverside General Hospital through Loma Linda University. There, she was granted hospital privileges and worked with the ophthalmological residents. In 1995 and 1996, she served on the Expert Board of Examiners for the National Board of Examiners in Optometry. In 1999 after the General Hospital moved, she went back into private practice in Buena Park, California, just prior to joining the Student Affairs Department at SCCO-MBKU in 2006.
