Loras College Alumni

Meet this month’s Duhawk Dozen ✨

For Dr. Zachary Ney (’20), a visit to campus during high school sparked a journey that would lead him from Loras to optometry school in Houston and ultimately back home to northwest Iowa. Along the way, faculty mentors, fellow Duhawks, and hands-on experiences helped shape his path. Today, Zach serves his community as an optometrist at Sibley Eye Care and was recently named Best Optometrist in Northwest Iowa.

Congratulations, Zach! To hear more about his story: https://loras.edu/news/a-vision-for-care/
