Pre-Dental Club

The Pre-Dental Club's purpose is to inform all members about the dental profession.  We are determined to help members understand that there are many parts to the dental application. As a result, we provide critical information in regards to the DAT, letters of recommendation, resume building, and shadowing with a Dentist. We also invite dental admission representatives and dentists to come and speak to the members about their dental application experience. Moreover, along with our Pre-Health and Pre-Dental members we also make a contribution to society by volunteering with community service organizations.

Pre-Optometry Club

Our goal is to bring together students and anyone off campus interested in the field of optometry. With everyone's participation, we want to better prepare ourselves as students, applicants, care givers and servants of our community. For those who are unsure: We will bring in optometry students, school advisors, and optometrists to answer all questions. For those who are studious: We will hold practice sessions out of OAT (Optometry Admissions Test) booklets to learn, relearn, and challenge our knowledge. For those confident and ready: Mock interviews will be held to prepare and test nerves for thought-provoking questions. We strive to create a network of pre-optometry students to provide support throughout our common endeavors.
