Rites of Passage is a very special event that takes place every year in July, at the iconic St Paul's Cathedral in Central London. This is an event where all graduating medical and dental students are invited to walk across the stage inside the cathedral in front of all their peers, attending family and friends and the faculty who taught/supported them whilst studying.
Each year, the Dental Society Student President is invited to be a member of the procession and gives a short speech to congratulate the newly qualified dentists before the academic procession.
