NSUCO Students win EssilorLuxottica Academic Challenge

Three students from Nova Southeastern University College of Optometry (NSUCO) were crowned the EssilorLuxottica Academic Challenge champions for 2023 at the American Academy of Optometry (AAO) Academy meeting in New Orleans.

The EssilorLuxottica Academic Challenge celebrated its sixth annual competition where student representatives from 25 schools and colleges of optometry answer rounds of eye health-related questions to win significant prizes.

Navroop Kaur, Dhruvi Patel, and Amanda Aker from NSUCO took home the first-place prizes of $1,000 from the AAO, a pair of Ray-Ban Stories from EssilorLuxottica, and Volk lenses. A celebration was held on Friday, Oct. 20, at the NSU Davie/Fort Lauderdale campus with NSUCO administrators, faculty, staff, and students.

This achievement showcases the commitment and dedication of NSUCO’s students, and we look forward to their continued success in the field of optometry.
