Class of 2026 White Coat Ceremony

This event honors and celebrates our class of 2026 as they begin their veterinary education.

The white coat ceremony has become an academic ritual in the health professions: a ceremony that signals a transformation of status from an ordinary student to one studying to become a health professional. While donning the white coat is a sign of a changed role, the white coat is also a powerful symbol of transformation. White symbolizes purity, and the white coat symbolizes the purity of purpose being affirmed in becoming a health professional. The white coat symbolizes an affirmation on the part of aspiring veterinarians that their purpose will be pure and that they can be trusted to honor the tradition of the learned professions in placing the interest of patients above themselves. Absent an emphasis on the symbolic nature of the white coat ceremony, it can simply become an opportunity to publicly congratulate individuals for their success in gaining entrance to the study of veterinary medicine.
