This July, 185 medical students will begin a new life journey here at the UC College of Medicine. A tradition that marks the beginning of their medical school experience is the distribution of the students’ first white lab coats.
By sponsoring a white coat for just $100, you can be a part of this momentous occasion. You will be welcoming these students into the MedCat family and making an impact on the next generation of healthcare providers.
You also can add a personal note of support for the incoming student you sponsor. When your student wears their white coat for the first time, they will think of you and be reminded why they chose the medical profession and the University of Cincinnati. Let a future doctor know that you support them!
Please make your gift by July 5 to ensure all students receive their sponsored white coats, including your name and personal words of encouragement. Also, please save the date for this year’s White Coat Ceremony scheduled for Friday, July 26 at 10 a.m. All white coat sponsors will be invited to the ceremony.
Thank you for your continued support of our students and the UC College of Medicine.
