Nursing School Hosts Eighth Annual White Coat Ceremony

Sophomore nursing students will mark the beginning of the clinical phase of their professional careers during the seventh annual White Coat Ceremony, Friday, Aug. 27, at 6 p.m. in the Union Ballroom.

Approximately 165 students will be joined by family and friends as they receive their white coats and pledge their commitment to providing patient-centered, compassionate care during their days as Duquesne students and future nurses.

Juliet Arowosaye, a 2020 graduate of the School of Nursing, will deliver the keynote address at the ceremony. She is a registered nurse in the Mother-Baby Unit and Parent-Partnership Unit at UPMC Magee Women’s Hospital.
