White Coat Ceremony
The White Coat Ceremony is a wonderful and meaningful tradition in which the School welcomes first-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.
