We celebrated our White Coat Ceremony here on the Hattiesburg Campus this past Friday, and we cannot be prouder of our new Spring 2026 students. ❤️🖤
We are so blessed to honor these students and to watch as God continues to do great things through them.

The Arnold P. Gold Foundation introduced the White Coat Ceremony in 1993 to emphasize humanity in healthcare at the beginning of healthcare education and generously supplies the "Keeping Healthcare Human" lapel pins that students receive at this ceremony. 👩‍⚕️🩺✨

Happy Birthday, Carey President Ben Burnett! 🎉🎈

Today, we celebrate a president who truly understands the life-changing impact of healthcare and the people who feel called to serve within it. Your university leadership, steadfast support of our healthcare programs, encouragement of innovation, and belief in our students create an environment where future professionals are prepared to care with both competence and compassion.

Because of your leadership, our students know their work matters. Our faculty feel supported as they prepare graduates who will step into hospitals, clinics, and communities ready to make a difference. Your investment in healthcare at Carey reaches far beyond the classroom walls. It touches every patient, every family, and every life our graduates will serve.

Dr. Burnett, thank you for leading with heart, humility, and vision. Thank you for standing beside us, cheering us on, and reminding us why the mission of caring for others is so important. We are grateful for you today and every day.

Wishing you the happiest birthday and another wonderful year of impact and inspiration! 🎁🎊
