OWL mentoring program grows after AAO meeting
 A newly launched OWL mentoring program got off to a successful start at the American Academy of Ophthalmology meeting, with 20 members expressing interest in becoming involved with the program.
That amount brings the total number of members involved in the program to 47, according to Marsha D. Link, PhD. Eighteen OWL members have already been paired as mentors/mentees and nine potential mentors are waiting to be paired with mentees. At the OWL reception and panel discussion, "Drive Your Development Through Mentoring," held in conjunction with the joint meeting of the AAO and Pan-American Association of Ophthalmology, Dr. Link discussed the program and led a panel of two paired OWL mentors/mentees.

Looking forward to a new year
 I'm excited to be writing to you as OWL's incoming President. I'm looking forward to another great year of OWL accomplishments!

Looking forward, we'll build on [OWL's] accomplishments to expand our programs beyond our signature networking events.

The Book I Am Reading: Outliers
If you could choose only one book by Malcolm Gladwell - author of "The Tipping Point," "Blink," "Outliers" and "The Dog" - to read, my vote would be for "Outliers." It poses the questions, "What is it about the highly successful - or the 'outliers' - that make them who they are?"
