Eighty-eight students from the College of Pharmacy, Nursing, and Allied Sciences will take the oath of a pharmacist during the annual White Coat Ceremony on Saturday, Sept. 19, at 1 p.m. in NDSU’s Festival Concert Hall. Each student will receive a white coat symbolizing his or her duty to patients and colleagues as they enter the pharmacy profession.

The White Coat Ceremony is an opportunity to officially welcome students into the profession of pharmacy and instill in their minds and hearts an attitude of professionalism including honesty, integrity and good moral character.
