The FOOT Board of Trustees

In 2007, the FOOT established a Board of Trustees composed of representatives from the university, institutional, professional, and business sectors with the mission of acting as an advisory council that, gathering the demands of society, helped articulate them within the academic activity of the Faculty.

Since then, the FOOT Board of Trustees has been working to enhance the prestige of the optics and optometry sector by launching specific projects driven by the Assembly of Trustees.
