2015 Annual Report

NECO takes justifiable pride in its track record of preparing students for
rewarding careers in optometry. The College’s expansive curriculum and
expert instructors provide the skills, tools, and experience that optometristsin-training
need to pursue the profession they are passionate about.
Giving Back to Alumni through the Gift of Learning
NECO’s commitment to providing valuable educational programs continues long after students graduate. Practicing
ODs are required to earn continuing education (CE) credits throughout their careers. To help satisfy this need, the
College offers highly regarded CE programs in partnership with the NECO Alumni Association. Programs are offered
to both alumni and non-alumni through NECO’s Learning Center.
“The practice of eye care has changed so much in the last three decades,” explains Tony Cavallerano, OD ‘72,
executive director of clinical training and patient care at NECO. “We have a responsibility to our alumni to help them
stay abreast of new developments and treatment strategies, and give them the information required to best serve
their patients.”
