Two SCCO Interns have won First and Second Place honors for the Envision 2011 Video Contest sponsored by the Association of Schools and Colleges of Optometry (ASCO).  "Optometrist: The Hero of Vision," earned First Place honors for, Neal Guymon, SCCO Class of 2012.  The video, "Optometry: The Journey," brought Second Place honors to, Paul Neville, SCCO Class of 2011.  Prize money totaled $5,000 for First Place and $2,500 for Second Place.

Annually, ASCO hosts a contest for a student created video promoting Optometry as a profession.  Optometry interns from all ASCO-member institutions are eligible to submit original videos to compete for three cash awards.  The videos are then hosted on YouTube and used as a promotional tool to market the value of becoming a Doctor of Optometry.
