The OUHSC Junior Vision Research Club (JVRC) was developed to provide an opportunity for presenting and networking among our rising vision researchers. Graduate students and postdoctoral fellows in the basic science and clinical departments, clinical residents and fellows, medical students, and laboratory personnel who focus on vision science are all welcome to join us. Our meetings occur on the first Monday of each month in the spring and summer semesters. These meetings include opportunities to hone presentation and moderating skills, become comfortable with asking and answering questions during presentations, and float out new ideas and network with fellow vision scientists, all in a relaxed and collegial atmosphere. Breakfast is provided and supported by the Dean McGee Eye Institute. A moderator and two presenters volunteer each month and the schedule can be found in our OU Vision Events calendar. In June, we invite one or more professional/career development speakers chosen by JVRC attendees. There is also a monetary JVRC Leadership Award given to a JVRC attendee during the OU Vision Workshop, held during the Fall semester.
