WKU Pre-Optometry Club

Who are we?

The Western Kentucky University Pre-Optometry Club is group devoted to helping students apply and get accepted into Optometry School. The Pre-Optometry club does this by giving students a chance to hear from different Optometry Schools from around the United States.
