On Friday evening, January 20,
2017, the UMSL chapter of the National Student Optometric Association winner of
the “Chapter of the Year” at the Annual National Optometric Association Meeting
last July – once again hosted a great annual tradition, the NOSA Talent Show. The Master of Ceremonies was Lulette Fermil
(’19) who also provided between act entertainment.
The show featured several
talented students who could sing, play instruments, and dance. The top winner was Madison Moss (’20), who gave
a spellbinding performance in singing and playing the keyboards to the epic,
Fleetwood Mac song “Landslide.” Second
place went to Kate Hamm (’19) who also gave a wonderful performance singing,
“Lost Boy” by Ruth B. Kate also provided her own accompaniment on the keyboard. Sara Taylor (’19) was awarded third place for
an excellent dance routine to the song, “Latch” by Sam Smith.
A very well received fourth
place performance was by the duet consisting of Abigail Smith on guitar with vocals
by Jackie Hinderks to the song “When We Were Young” by Adele. In fact, although typically only the first
three award winners are honored, Clinical Assistant Professor Erin Brooks
provided funding for both fourth and fifth place finishers. Judging the event were Clinical Assistant
Professors Christine Gavett (‘91) and Casey Hamm (’15), and Director of
Externships Angel Simmons (‘03). Dr.
Simmons said it best, “Once again it was an amazing
showcase highlighting our students and their many talents! Such a wonderful
annual tradition that benefits a great cause,” commented Simmons.
