Jack's White Coat Cermony

It was super cool to attend Jack's White Coat Ceremony where they welcome the new class into the medical profession. I was so proud of Jack standing up there getting his medical coat on. It was also kind of nice that they had this ceremony before classes actually got under way and made it a real celebration for the students...before they actually had classes to worry about. The room was so packed that there were people standing all in the aisles and the dean said that they have never had so many family members in attendance to support the students. Jack said it was kind of funny that everyone is congratulating all of them, but they actually haven't even done anything yet. He said he feels it's a little preemptive and to wait and see in 4 years for the congrats. But me, I know how hard Jack has had to work to get to this point and I think it really is cause for celebration that we are about to embark on his Podiatry School adventures. :o)
Here is a picture of most of the students of their class of 2012. And below that is a picture of the Mormon guys. It's been so nice to have so many members around us and we have a lot of students in our ward and it makes it feel a little like the student ward we left in Provo.
