SCO Hosts In-Person 2021 Commencement
Southern College of Optometry worked with FedExForum, the sports arena home of the Memphis Grizzles NBA team, to host an in-person commencement ceremony for the Class of 2021’s 135 graduates on Tuesday, May 4.
Faculty members in attendance were spaced apart over 35 rows, and the graduates were allowed to bring several hundred guests who were seated in physically distanced pods. Selected to deliver the commencement address was Memphis Mayor Jim Strickland. The mayor also received an honorary degree along with Joyce Urbeck, longtime Director of the Accreditation Council on Optometric Education who retired last year after 35 years of service.
