Adopt-a-PA Student

Thank you to all the generous donors who gave to our Adopt-a-Med-Student program! We’ve now shifted gears to our Adopt-a-PA-Student program where our alumni and friends can provide professional white coats for secondyear physician assistant students who are about to begin their clinical experiences.

The white coats will be formally presented to students during a ceremony this winter. Similar to the Adopt-a-Med-Student Program, we also encourage donors to write letters to the students to be included in their coat pockets. Our goal is to provide a lasting, supportive connection between students and donors.

How do you participate?

Gifts of $100 per student can be:

Mailed to the UND Alumni Association & Foundation, 3501 University Ave., Stop 8157, Grand Forks, ND, 58202. Please include “PA White Coat” in the check’s memo line.

Or

Submitted through UNDalumni.org/smhs. Under Comments, please put “PA White Coat.”

Letters to students can be included in Option 1 above or emailed to kristen.peterson@UND.edu.
