Family and friends witnessed the ceremony with pride, excitement, and gratitude as the students transitioned to the clinical phase of the curriculum.  

TUCVM is grateful for the sponsorship and support of Zoetis Animal Health, Banfield Pet Hospital, and participation from the associations representing Alabama, Kentucky and South Carolina Veterinary Medical Associations. 

College of Veterinary Medicine Class of 2026 president Morgan Banks and vice president Kyle Frett assisted in the presentation of coats. The white coats for the students from Alabama, Kentucky and South Carolina were purchased by the associations and presented to the students by the past presidents in attendance of the respective veterinary medical associations. Dean Perry presented the white coats to non-resident students.

鈥淭he annual white coat ceremony is a celebratory time in which our third year students make the major transition into the clinical phase of their curriculum,鈥� said Dr. Ebony Gilbreath, Associate Dean of Academic and Student Affairs. 鈥淭his moves them one step closer to becoming career-ready veterinarians upon graduating with their DVM degrees the following year. This momentous event would not be the success it is without the support of our Dean, Dr. Ruby L. Perry, sponsors, faculty, staff, students, and alumni.鈥�
