Salus White Coat Ceremony: Five Times the Emotion and Excitement
Salus University’s annual White Coat ceremony, which capped off Orientation Week at the University, had a bit of a twist this year. Because there was no face-to-face ceremony last year due to COVID-19 protocols, this year’s event featured five separate White Coat ceremonies over the two-day period of Aug. 19-20.
Leading off the festivities on Aug. 19 was the ceremony for the Doctor of Audiology Accelerated Program Class of 2023; the Doctor of Audiology Class of 2024; and the Doctor of Optometry Advanced Placement; Traditional and Scholars Program Class of 2024; and the classes who had an online ceremony with their individual programs last year.
Once the do-over was completed for last year’s first-year students (now second-year students in their respective programs), the second-day ceremonies were much of the same for students and parents, albeit tailored somewhat for each different program.
