On May 19, 2018, the Illinois College of Optometry celebrated its 175th Commencement. Together, we welcomed 154 new doctors into the profession of optometry. This year’s ceremony was in a brand new location- the Chicago Symphony Center. The 2018 Commencement Address was delivered by ICO’s president, Dr. Arol Augsburger, who will be retiring later in the year.
