glittering date in the diary, Saturday<br />
30 July, saw the Hilton on Auckland’s<br />
waterfront play host to 196 optometry<br />
students, faculty staff members and industry<br />
guests to celebrate this year’s BOptom graduates.<br />
Organised by the Eyeball Committee, a<br />
separate group from the NZ Optometry Student<br />
Society (NZOSS), the red-carpet event had a<br />
James Bond theme with prizes for the best<br />

take formal photos. The event was sponsored<br />

“It was great to see everybody enjoy<br />
themselves on the night and very rewarding<br />
to see our hard work appreciated,” said ball<br />
committee president, John Kwak. “The ball<br />
committee really came together, and we<br />
definitely had a lot of fun.” ▀<br />
