“I loved my time in the HES department. I knew that I was receiving a unique education as an undergraduate in HES. After graduation I attended Illinois College of Optometry in Chicago and earned my Doctor of Optometry (O.D.) degree in May 2017. I now work for Clarkson Eyecare in Affton, Missouri. If you want to be part of a community that is welcoming and supportive, than Health Science is where you belong! The smaller class size and major allows you to be close with your faculty members and classmates. Truman HES was the best decision I made, and I often reflect on the great times I had in the HES department. I would do it again in a heartbeat.”
