The Student Capital Improvements and Enhancement Fund supports students in their quest for educational distinction by providing funds to support capital improvements and equipment needs for space used by students within the school.
Give nowI have been a donor to IUSO for nearly my entire career. Optometry has given me a great profession and career, and I always felt that I needed to give back.
