Transitions Optical, Inc., has introduced a new program for optical students–the Students of Vision Video Showcase. The program, supported by the Transitions Healthy Sight for Life Fund, encourages students to help their patients see Life well lit, complementing Transitions Optical’s overall global communications campaign.
Through October 31, Transitions Optical will accept video submissions on the Transitions 2012 Student Showcase YouTube Page. The top finalists will be chosen based on the number of “likes” their video receives and will receive a $100 cash prize. The grand prize winners–selected from a team of judges at Transitions Optical–will receive $500 and an all-expense paid trip to the Transitions Optical headquarters in Tampa, Fla., for a day of education and leadership training from industry experts. Winners will be announced by January 31, 2013.
“Through the new student program, we want to inspire optometry and opticianry students to make a difference in the optical industry, by helping to enrich the lives of their patients through vision,” says Cheri Guy, professional development manager, Transitions Optical. “We’re looking forward to seeing the creativity our future leaders.”
