A Proud Moment in Your Life
“My wish for you is that you may all feel as I do after a lifetime—that the profession you’ve chosen is the best profession in the world.”
Aleen Cust, First Female Veterinarian Who Graduated in 1897.
Capturing the Moment
Here, we will capture some of these moments of celebration—on social media, with photos, through stories. Show us how you are celebrating this important milestone by including the hashtag #SGUWCC on your posts. We look forward to seeing your smiling faces here at SGU!
White Coat Ceremony
Each term, a White Coat Ceremony is held for first-term students in the School of Veterinary Medicine to mark entry into the noble profession of veterinary medicine and will include a keynote address, recognition of each student in attendance and the recitation of the professional commitment.
Student Ceremony Registration
All students will be required to complete the White Coat Ceremony Registration form during Orientation week which will capture how they wish their name to be announced, and whether they require guest tickets.
Guest Ticket Information
As seating is limited, we encourage students to invite their family and friends to join in the celebration online via livestream at sgu.edu/live. However, all students registered to participate in the ceremony are guaranteed 2 (two) guest tickets. (Ticket collection date, time and location to be confirmed with students during Orientation Week.)
When completing the White Coat Ceremony Registration form, students will be given the option to indicate if they wish to receive additional guest tickets should they become available. Students will be notified when collecting their guest tickets whether extra guest tickets can be allocated to them.
Guests should aim to be seated 30 minutes before the ceremony start time.
Guest Coating
During the ceremony, students will be coated by a St. George’s University Professor. However, a guest will be permitted to coat their student, providing they hold a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine Degree (DVM). Students will be asked to register their guest coater by providing their full name, relationship and a copy of their DVM license or diploma when completing the White Coat Ceremony Registration Form during Orientation Week.
Watch the Ceremony
Proud SGU Family and Friends

At SGU, we recognize the importance that parents and guardians play in a student’s life and we want to know more about you. We invite you to join our SGU Parents Group to assist parents of future SGU students, current students, and graduates.

What was your first impression of SGU? 👇
SGU clinical students Oluwadamisola Segun-Ololade and Edikan James, currently based at North Middlesex University Hospital in London, recently volunteered at an Enfield GP Federation and Vaxi Taxi Health and Wellbeing Pop Up in Enfield, London, on July 9.
Vaxi Taxi focuses on reaching communities across London experiencing health inequalities, offering wellness checks, information, and signposting to build trust in NHS and allied services.
As Professor Lee Dvorkin, Assistant Dean of Student Affairs, shared, their commitment reflects the “professionalism, compassion and sense of service that we strive to instill at SGU."
Throwing it back: SGA Fun Day, CAE Connect, an IFMSA bake sale, a nursing student workshop, an intense game of Jenga, class on the LARF, Humans of SGU, lunch at the "Top of D Hill" food court, and of course, friends for life! 💙
