It’s hard to believe that this dedicated group is already approaching the final chapter of their NECO experience. With just one more stretch before graduation, they’re preparing to take on their final clinical rotations—a significant step in their transition from students to emerging professionals. As they move beyond the classroom and into hands-on patient care, we are confident they will bring the same compassion, curiosity, and excellence that have defined them throughout their time at NECO.
This event was a true celebration of their achievements and the bright futures ahead. We are so grateful to the faculty, staff, and peers who joined in support, and to everyone who helped create such a special evening. A heartfelt thank you goes out to our generous sponsors and vendors who made the night possible. We’re especially grateful to our corporate partners—Abbvie, Alcon, CooperVision, EssilorLuxottica, Johnson & Johnson Vision, the Massachusetts Society of Optometrists, and Warby Parker—for their continued investment in our students’ success.
