Aalen master’s students visiting the College of Optometry at Pacific University in the USA

The five master’s students from Aalen University are overjoyed: they are the first to be able to visit the “motherland of optometry”, the USA, again after the compulsory Corona break in terms of travel. Last week they completed the “Sports Vision” module with the world’s most renowned experts in this field, Prof. Graham Erickson and Prof. Fraser Horn from the College of Optometry at Pacific University in Forest Grove, Oregon. The small group consisting of the two Swiss women, Angelina Di Benedetto and Barbara Waltisberg, and the two students from Germany, Stefanie Müller and Michaela Sperlich, together with the student from Nepal, Silu Bhitrikoti, enjoyed the intensive support of the great “masters” in this field. For Silu Bhitrikoti from Nepal in particular, this trip to the USA has already made another great dream come true. If you want to follow and support her fascinating activities, you will find more information here.
