The ninth annual Ceremony of Gratitude gave medical, nursing and health science students the opportunity to thank friends and families of those who gave the ultimate gift, anatomical donors.
A candlelight procession opened the ceremony, a tribute to the generosity of donors and their kin. Jesse Gomes, director of operations for the Human Anatomy Laboratory and Director of the Anatomical Gift Program, began the programming, co-sponsored by the School of Nursing, School of Health Sciences and the Frank H. Netter MD School of Medicine.
