    College of Veterinary Medicine DVM students gather for a class photo following the 2026 White Coat Ceremony.

The University of Minnesota College of Veterinary Medicine's (CVM) Class of 2027 marked a milestone this past Saturday at the school's annual White Coat Ceremony.

Each Doctor of Veterinary Medicine 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 11, 2026, to celebrate with the students. Congratulations and good luck, Class of 2027!
