Duquesne held their White Coat Ceremony for the medical school on Friday. The school actually just changed their name upon receipt of a huge donation from the Nasuti family so it is now officially called the Nasuti College of Osteopathic Medicine.
The speakers kept mentioning this Class of 2029 and I realized that we will have a med school graduation, a college graduation, and a high school graduation all in 2029, God willing (maybe we can get the gift of bilocation by then??).
Phil and I couldn't attend BUT JP invited Phil's parents to come from Maryland, and Andrew and Eamon drove over from Steubenville, so he had a nice fan club with him. Of course, good old Mom and Dad were watching from home with hearts bursting with pride on the livestream, as caught in this photo Maggie took. Haha, I was videorecording and Phil was taking photos.
Nana and Gramps took JP out to a really nice dinner at the Grand Concourse after the ceremony, then hung out with Andrew and Eamon the next day at Franciscan - getting tours and watching Andrew's soccer team play. Everybody seemed to have a really good time, and I am so grateful for family who steps in when we couldn't be there.
JP - you have made us so proud already with this big step in your journey to becoming a physician, and I can't wait to see you in the long white coat one day!
