Pitt Dental Medicine DMD Class of 2026 and DH Class of 2024 White Coat Ceremony took place on Friday, August 26, 2022 at 2pm in Alumni Hall 7th Floor Auditorium.
Event seating is limited, but students will be invited to bring up to 6 guests. Doors will open 45 minutes before the ceremony begins.
Please refer to www.coronavirus.pitt.edu for updates on Community Levels and mask guidance. The university’s face covering rules will, at a minimum, be consistent with CDC guidance, which relies on community COVID-19 levels to determine when indoor masking is required. The university requires face coverings indoors when COVID-19 community levels are “high”. Face coverings are optional indoors when community levels are “medium” or “low”.
Parking is available on campus in Soldiers and Sailors Garage.
See Pitt's Visitor Parking Map for parking options on campus.
If you require a physical or dietary accommodation to participate in this event, please contact Ms. Alycia Maltony in the Office of Student Affairs by August 1, 2022.
The White Coat Ceremony is an important rite of passage as our students begin a new chapter of their lives.
