A Message from Interim Dean Gordon Gillespie:
During the 2023-2024 academic year, nearly 300 graduate and undergraduate nursing students will be welcomed to the UC College of Nursing. Our annual White Coat Ceremony has become an honored tradition at the college; the white coat is an important symbol of the professional responsibilities they accept as nursing students and as practitioners upon graduation.
We hope to make it especially memorable by reminding students of the strong community of alumni, donors, faculty, family and friends who support them in their journey. Will you help us celebrate this special tradition by making a white coat sponsorship gift of $50 or more?
Through this special gift, you'll be paying it forward – warmly welcoming these students into the UC College of Nursing Bearcat family and making an impact on the next generation of healthcare providers. You can also add a personal note of support for the incoming student you sponsor.
Please make your gift by July 31 to ensure all students receive their sponsored white coats, including your personalized words of encouragement in the front pocket.
Thank you for your continued support of our hard-working students and the UC College of Nursing.
Create a special moment for a new student by sponsoring his or her white coat.
Create a special moment for two new students by sponsoring two white coats.
Create a special moment for three new students by sponsoring three white coats.
