College of Veterinary Medicine White Coat Day 2026

Support the Future of Veterinary Medicine—One White Coat at a Time

At The Ohio State University College of Veterinary Medicine, the White Coat Ceremony marks a powerful milestone. For the Class of 2027, receiving their white coat isn’t just tradition—it’s the moment they step into their final clinical year and begin transforming knowledge into hands-on care.


Be Part of Their Journey

As a proud Buckeye veterinarian, you understand the significance of this rite of passage. You’ve stood where they stand now, and your support can help them take the next step with confidence. By sponsoring a white coat, you’re doing more than providing a garment. You’re offering a symbol of encouragement, pride, and the enduring legacy that connects Buckeye veterinarians across generations.


Add a Personal Touch

Want to make your gift even more meaningful? Include a note of advice or inspiration to be tucked inside the coat pocket. These messages remind students they’re not alone—they’re backed by a community that believes in them. When you make your gift online, you’ll be prompted to submit your note during the same transaction. To ensure it’s part of the ceremony, please submit your message by March 4.


Let’s Celebrate Their Achievements—Together

Join us in honoring the Class of 2027 and reaffirming our shared commitment to excellence in veterinary medicine. Every coat sponsored is a step forward for a future veterinarian.
