THE Department of Dentistry held its 3rd White Coat Ceremony on August 31, 2025, at Casino Espaรฑol de Cebu.
Spearheaded by the department's Program Coordinator, Dr. Lorelie Dolores N. Omega, the ceremony signified the students' transition into clinical patient care.
University President Dr. Conrado E. Iรฑigo welcomed everyone with a wise philosophy and a mnemonic that sharpened the minds of the attendeesโBIG SPEP: Begin today with the end in mind, Intelligence Quotient, Grit, Spiritual Quotient, Physical Quotient, Excellent mindset, and Proactive attitude.
Meanwhile, keynote speaker and Philippine Dental Association Cebu Chapter President Dr. Thelma Pedida inspired the students by sharing the true meaning of the white coat in the profession.
"Let this white coat remind you of your purpose: to bring smiles, relieve pain, restore confidence, and promote oral health as an essential part of our overall wellbeing," she stated.
