Transitions, along with its Diversity Advisory Board, has partnered with Black EyeCare Perspective for a HBCU Light Intelligent Tour, which is continuing in 2023. To assist in increasing the admittance of Black and African American students into accredited optometry programs and ultimately increasing the amount of practicing diverse optometrists, the HBCU Light Intelligent Tour visited three Historically Black Colleges and Universities in November 2022. Demonstrating the effectiveness of the tour in sparking diverse students’ interest in joining the field of optometry, Transitions and Black EyeCare Perspective are now expanding it to include virtual events in the Spring and Summer with plans to visit several HBCUs on-campus in the Fall. If you are interested in becoming a mentor or supporting our initiative, visit the Black Eyecare Perspective website for more information.
