At the beginning of each semester, Ross University honors its new students in the White Coat Ceremony. The new first semester veterinary students are giving their first white coat and they take the veterinary oath. Yesterday was Rob's White Coat Ceremony.
Monday marked the first day of classes for Rob and his fellow first semester students. The last class of the day was canceled in order for the ceremony to be held. The program opened with a welcome from Dr. Saint Jean, large animal anatomy professor and Associate Dean for Academic Affairs. He was followed by Dr. Cindy Lichty, a 2002 Ross graduate and the evening's keynote speaker. Then Dr. Gilbert Burns, the interim Dean, explained the significance of the white coat. Finally, the white coats were given out. Rob's class has about 170 students, Ross's largest class to date! After the class had donned their coats, they all stood and took the Veterinary Oath.

I was so excited and proud when Rob received his coat; he is only three years away from attaining his goal and becoming Dr. Robert Seerley, DMV!
