The Kean University School of Nursing wins the Arnold P. Gold Foundation grant to sponsor a white coat ceremony for its students. "The Gold Foundation established the White Coat Ceremony in 1993. The iconic ritual provides an important emphasis on compassionate, collaborative, scientifically excellent care from the very first day of training" (the Arnold P. Gold Foundation). Alumni Regina Foley, Chief Hospital Executive at Southern Ocean Medical Center was the guest speaker who spoke to students about the importance of getting a good education and serving as examples for other practicing nurses. The White Coat Ceremony "serves to welcome students to healthcare practice and elevate the value of humanism as the core of healthcare. It provides a powerful emphasis on compassion in combination with scientific excellence" (the Arnold P. Gold Foundation). In attendance was Dr. Christine Thorpe, Dean of the Nathan Weiss Graduate College, Dr. Prisca Anuforo, Executive Director of the School, faculty and staff from the School, as well as family members of students.
