CONVOCATION & WHITE COAT August 6, 2011 On August 6, 2011, Western University of Health Sciences, College of Pharmacy welcomed 118 students into the class of 2015 at a White Coat ceremony held at the Ontario Convention Center in Ontario, California (thank you to Walmart for their generous sponsorship of the White Coat ceremony this year). Cynthia Jackevicius, PharmD, Director, Residency and Fellowship Training Program and Associate Professor, Pharmacy Practice & Administration, gave the keynote address to the students and their families. Key points of her address to the students included: 1) Be open to and interested in all possibilities since you don’t know what opportunity will present itself and ultimately influence your career path. Find your passion and inspiration to get you through the days, weeks and years of hard work during pharmacy school; 2) Do everything you can to succeed, including being happy. As the Nobel laureate Albert Schweitzer said: “Success is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success. If you love what you are doing, you will be successful;” and 3) Remember that patient care is an art and a science, encompassing both the mind and the heart. Patients will trust you because you are wearing a white coat. Consider how you will be of service to patients and create your own distinct mixture of humanism, science and caring as a student pharmacist. ■ Below: Dean Daniel Robinson greets Phillip Nelson, DVM, PhD, Dean of the College of Veterinary Medicine, at the Convocation Ceremony.
