2024 DDS White Coat Ceremony

"white coat ceremony".
  • The White Coat Ceremony is a wonderful and meaningful tradition in which the School of Dental Medicine welcomes new DDS students as colleagues dedicated to patient care. 
  • During this event, faculty 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.
