Dear Members of the Class of 2022,

It is with great pleasure that the GW School of Medicine and Health Sciences alumni family presents you with your first white coat. The white coat that you will receive today is a symbol of the oath that you will take to be a physician. It represents an extraordinary privilege and solemn responsibility that comes along with an ability to heal and serve our community.

The list that follows names the alumni and friends who are sponsoring the White Coat Initiative this year. It includes the names of GW physicians from throughout the country representing virtually every medical specialty. As you review the list, you will see the diversity and strength of the community you are joining.

On behalf of my fellow alumni and the supporters of the White Coat Initiative, I would like you to know that we are extremely proud that you have chosen GW for your medical education. May your experience here be as meaningful to you as ours was to us. We look forward to the beginning of a partnership that will last forever.

With best wishes,

Stuart S. Kassan, MD ‘72, FACP, MACRCo-Chair, SMHS Council of Advisors
