The Alumni Association was organized and established in 1973. It now represents more than 1600 graduates of the four-year and graduate programs and 85 graduates of the residency programs. In addition, alumni of the Columbia University optometric program have joined SUNY's association.
Each year, the Alumni Association sponsors educational and social meetings, Envision's yearly reunion years social event, publishes a newsletter, Focal Point, and awards scholarships to students in financial need who display professional and academic promise. Financial support is also given to student run organizations. During the Association's Annual Fund Campaign, alumni are solicited for contributions to the Association in order to continue existing programs and initiate new ones.
The Executive Board of the Association is an active group and meets approximately every other month during the academic year. The Alumni Association is also an active member of SUNY's Confederation of Alumni Associations.
