Milestone Moments

Class of 2022 Celebrates a Turning Point in Training A traditional rite of passage, the White Coat Ceremony symbolizes the transition of third-year optometric students from didactic instruction and coursework to patient care in the clinic for the next two years of their training.

Before the virtual ceremony held on September 25, members of the class of 2022 were individually pre- recorded receiving their white coats from the University Eye Center clinic area chiefs. The video was shared during the online event with more than 500 people in remote attendance.

“As 2022 prepares to take the clinic by storm, I am so proud of what we have accomplished. The amount of information that we have learned so far has been incredible, and the finish line doesn’t seem so far.” —Julie FeiFei Song, Class of 2022 President
