The University of Minnesota College of Veterinary Medicine's (CVM) Class of 2026 marked a milestone this past Sunday at the school's annual White Coat Ceremony.

Each DVM student received a white lab coat, marking the end of three years of rigorous classroom study and signifying their transition to the clinical phase of their veterinary training. Over the next 13 months, they will complete clinical rotations in the hospitals that comprise the Veterinary Medical Center.

Friends and family gathered at the ceremony, held on April 20, 2025, to congratulate more than 100 students on their accomplishments. Congratulations and good luck, Class of 2026!
