UMOSS hosts a wide variety of social events throughout the year, from educational seminars and networking events to our annual boat cruise and annual (eye)ball. In addition to social events, UMOSS also hosts peer-assisted programs, like our “Big Brother Big Sister” mentorship program, and revision sessions to help foster a supportive learning environment and encourage collaborative study to improve academic performance.

These events are organised with the intent of helping students assimilate into the course, integrate with peers across the OD cohort, engage with potential employers, and connect with the wider optometric community.
