NECO is excited to invite alumni, partners, and friends to the next conversation in the Virtual Fireside Chat Series, taking place Wednesday, January 28 at 7:00PM via Zoom.

Join Dr. Randall Case, Senior Director of Learning, Technology & Innovation, for a conversation about how NECO is embracing thoughtful, human-centered innovation. We’ll explore how emerging technologies, data insights, and new teaching approaches are helping us strengthen student learning, modernize our academic programs, and build a more agile institution. Rather than focusing on any single tool or format, this session highlights NECO’s broader strategy—using innovation to support students, empower faculty, and prepare future optometrists for a rapidly changing profession.

This Fireside Chat is part of NECO’s ongoing commitment to meaningful alumni engagement and open dialogue about the College’s mission and strategic direction. The series offers an opportunity to hear directly from NECO’s leaders and connect with others who share a passion for advancing vision care.

Registration is now open. Don’t miss this opportunity to join the conversation and help shape the future of NECO and the profession.
