White Coat Day 2002
Never out of style. This year the traditional White Coat Ceremony took place on August 29 in each of the student societies. Putting on their white coat for the first time is an annual rite of passage for incoming students, allowing them to dress the part of a doctor as they begin learning how to be one.
