  Logan Page (Class of 2018)

Logan is very involved with UMSL activities such as being an ambassador and MOSA. He has been very welcoming to the 1st year students and seems very involved with his own classmates.

He really wants to get to know all of his classmates - both older and younger. Logan’s an ambassador, so he has a hand in picking future optometry family members! He's an all-around good person. He gets his work done on time and still puts a lot of effort into his other activities.

When I think of someone who has really made me feel welcome at UMSL (student-wise) I think of Logan. He always stops to talk when he sees you, he is very involved, and he has a great outlook on life!
Currently involved in MOSA (President-Elect), Intramurals, and is a Student Ambassador for the College of Optometry.

Logan chose UMSL because of the friendly students and helpful professors!

 


Congratulations Logan on being the UMSL|Optometry October 2015 Student Spotlight winner!!!

The 56th Annual Contact Lens & Primary Care Congress presented by the Heart of America Contact Lens Society was, once again, a great success and represented a great opportunity for College of Optometry students and residents to network, present posters, receive high quality continuing education, and help as monitors and graduates to have the opportunity to see their classmates and enjoy, not only the expansive exhibit hall but also customize their education based upon the five tracks of courses given simultaneously.  The faculty included two UMSL graduates, Drs. Rebecca Wartman(‘87) and Shane Kannarr(‘00) and Assistant Dean, Dr. Ed Bennett.  Likewise, the Heart of America Board of Directors had a significant UMSL presence with Drs.
