Students from the Faculty of Health Professions' Clinical Vision Science Program would like to thank the Odd Fellows and Rebekahs Society for their support.  The Odd Fellows and Rebekahs are a long-established and worldwide charitable organization with a special interest in opthalmic research.  Members of the Atlantic Visual Research Committee from the Odd Fellows and Rebekahs came to the IWK Eye Clinic and presented senior students with a cheque for $1,000 to help offset their travel expenses to attend exams.  All students successfully passed their Canadian Board exams on June 17, 2015 in Vancouver.
