Sponsor a White Coat, Welcome the M.D. Class of 2021
The White Coat Ceremony marks the first moment of a medical student’s journey to become a doctor.
You can help to make that moment special for a new Class of 2021 M.D. student by sponsoring his or her white coat. Two sponsorship levels are available:
- A $100 gift for a new medical student’s white coat
- A $1,000 gift to sponsor ten white coats and provide support at the President’s Circle Level
The M.D Class of 2021 White Coat Ceremony will take place the morning of Monday, August 7, in the Pegasus Ballroom, located in the Student Union on UCF’s main campus. For each white coat sponsored, a student will receive a personalized card in their coat pocket with the name of the donor that helped to make their first moment as a medical student memorable. Please join us in welcoming those about to embark on a tremendous journey.
