When attending a white coat ceremony, remember that you should dress in a professional manner.
The most common form of dress for men is a shirt and tie. Typically, a suit or sports coat is not necessary. Women wear dresses, suits, or a blouse with a skirt or slacks. If you are not sure of what to wear, attending in business casual dress would be appropriate.
Please refrain from casual attire. Please do not wear jeans, sneakers, flip flops, t-shirts, tank tops, shorts, mini-skirts, or any other casual clothing.
The ceremony is held in the presence of faculty, administration, and family members and is considered a rite of passage. Therefore, it is important to dress properly for this occasion as it is a very special day for those being honored.
