Last week, a new group of more than 30 students in Kent State University's College of Nursing donned their symbolic white coats in two ceremonies on the university's Kent Campus.

The White Coat Ceremony welcomes sophomore nursing students into the professional nursing sequence of their educational journey. This sequence is the next phase in the Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) program in Kent State's College of Nursing.
