ALAN MAGEE SCAIFE HALL AUDITORIUM

The White Coat Ceremony is an important rite of passage as our students begin a new chapter of their lives.

 

To welcome our new students, each is presented with a personalized white coat to wear throughout dental school.

The White Coat Ceremony receives support in part from the Harry K. Zohn (DMD ’84) and Cecile A. Feldman, DMD White Coat Endowment Fund as well as contributions from our alumni and friends.

If you wish to send an incoming student some words of encouragement as they embark on a time of intense study and personal growth, please consider making a $75 donation to support the White Coat Ceremony and welcome our incoming students.

Thank you for supporting this Pitt Dental Medicine tradition!
