Help Pave the Way for Future Generations
Alumni, Faculty Help Pave the Way for Future Generations
There are many ways Salus students become successful. But an important part of the equation is assistance from those who help pave the way, in the form of scholarships and other financial support, that gives Salus students an advantage when they enter the professional world. Here are some of the ways individuals have generously chosen to support Salus with contributions that will help future generations of students:
Naomi Sussman, MS ’12
This memorializes her, which I thought “ was a very powerful thing. Our family really hopes it does assist students in low vision and maybe O&M to get through the program and succeed.”
MARC MEKETON, HUSBAND
While walking his dog the day after his wife Naomi Sussman, MS ’12, had passed away, among the many things going through the mind of a devastated Marc Meketon was what would be the best way to celebrate her life.
Sussman loved Salus University and earned her Master’s in Low Vision Rehabilitation in 2012 and then followed that up with an Orientation and Mobility (O&M) certificate. And, that’s how the idea of the Naomi Sussman Scholarship was established. The Meketon/Sussman family decided that rather than having just a one-time scholarship award, an annual $1,000 scholarship awarded to a Salus student would be even better.

Drs. Je rey and Neal Nyman
Their teaching style, which was “
respectful and benevolent, along with their encyclopedic knowledge base and superb clinical skills, made these men e ective teachers and clinical mentors.”
SUSAN OLESZEWSKI, OD ’76
The contributions Drs. Je rey and Neal Nyman have made to the advancement of both optometric education and the profession, as well as the careers of more than 7,000 former students and residents, cannot be overstated.
It is for these reasons that Salus University has chosen to honor the Nymans for these contributions. Please join us in saying thank you to these exceptional clinical educators by making a meaningful gift toward our goal of $100,000. All proceeds will be used to create a scholarship for PCO students with input from both Drs. Nyman and the dean’s o ce.
