The Lincoln Memorial University-Richard A. Gillespie College of Veterinary Medicine (LMU-CVM) will host the Class of 2028 White Coat Ceremonies on Friday, September 12, for the Silver Cohort,  and the Blue Cohort. The ceremonies will be at 10 a.m. for Silver and 1 p.m. for Blue at the Tex Turner Arena on the LMU main campus in Harrogate, Tennessee.

The students will be welcomed into the study of veterinary medicine as they receive their white coats. The White Coat Ceremony is held each year for first-year students. During the ceremony, the incoming class is “cloaked” with a white laboratory coat, a traditional symbol of the medical sciences. Through this ritual, student-veterinarians become more aware of their professional responsibilities.
