White Coat Ceremony

The White Coat Ceremony is a wonderful and meaningful tradition in which the School welcomes 1st-year students as colleagues dedicated to patient care. During this event, pharmacy alumni present entering students with a white coat, the symbol of clinical service and care. The students take, in unison, a pledge of professionalism. Family and friends of the entering class are invited to join us for this special occasion. A reception follows the ceremony.

White Coat Ceremony for the Class of 2016

The date for the ceremony is to be announced. Invitations are sent to entering students in late summer.
