PCO/Salus Concludes Annual Robert E. Horne Summer Enrichment Program
The Pennsylvania College of Optometry (PCO) at Salus University concluded its second annual Robert E. Horne Summer Enrichment Program (SEP) in July with a celebratory closing event.
SEP provides underrepresented students of color within the Doctor of Optometry program a jumpstart into the academic year and a chance to adjust to the pace and rigor of graduate school before the fall term.
The goal of this program is to improve matriculation attrition and graduation rates of underrepresented applicants of color while fostering a safety net of support and mentorship.
Apart from the academic takeaways, SEP also prides itself on the community it fosters. After feedback on the entirety of the virtual program last year, Juliana Mosley-Williams, PhD, special assistant to the president for Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, knew everything needed to be held in-person to foster the tight-knit community that was a mainstay of the original SEP values.
