UC Berkeley at the AOSA Student Bowl
The American Optometric Association (AOSA) Annual Student Bowl was held in Chicago on June 17. AOSA Trustee Melissa Rezk, Baldemar Torres (AOSA Trustee-Elect), Emmy Tian, and NOSA President Joanna Lopez, represented Berkeley Optometry at the AOSA Student Bowl. Emmy Tian won third place – she was leading by a significant margin up until the very last round! In addition to this great result, Melissa Rezk was nominated to be Vice President of the national AOSA Executive Council and Baldemar Torres was named Lead of AOSA's DEI Interest Group, a role usually reserved for a third year!
"There is much work to be done on this front, but we are excited to push forward with necessary initiatives at Berkeley Optometry and nationwide." - Melissa Rezk
