A standing room only crowd packed the auditorium of VCU's Medical Sciences Building on Friday, October 3rd as family, friends and faculty, gathered for the school's 9th annual White Coat Ceremony. As he welcomed the crowd, Dean Hunt commented, "It's not a bad thing to have outgrown the space for such an occasion."
In her remarks, parent, alumna, and guest speaker, Dr. Sheila Vacendak, reminded students of the unique skills and abilities that would be required of them as they treat patients in the clinics now, and in practice after graduation. She also reminisced about her years at the school and encouraged students to take advantage of the many learning opportunities.
