Homecoming
Reunite with old classmates, come meet the next generation of optometrists, or simply walk down memory lane!



Future ICO students want to know just what awaits them after four years of hard work. Alumni play a vital role in showing just what students can do with an optometry degree. Join our ambassador program to guide future ODs and help advance ICO’s mission.


Before students commit to optometry, they want to understand just what it’s like to be an optometrist. Help our students better understand the many ways students can practice optometry.


There are many ways to support ICO. One way is to host 4th year students during externships.
