The Lincoln Memorial University-Richard A. Gillespie College of Veterinary Medicine (LMU-CVM) Class of 2027 was honored in a White Coat Ceremony. This ceremony, a revered tradition in the veterinary sciences, welcomes students into the study of veterinary medicine by receiving their white coats, a traditional symbol of the medical sciences. Through this ritual, student-veterinarians become more aware of their professional responsibilities. 

Nathan Schank, of Fallon, Nevada, was coated at Lincoln Memorial University's Tex Turner Arena during the fall semester. 

He earned a Bachelor of Science in biochemistry from Brigham Young University and a Master of Science in pharmaceutical chemistry from the University of Florida. 

He is the son of Craig and Debra Schank.

They strung them along for years until they had no financial choice but to accept and get out. My Dad even hauled water for the Snow ranch trying to stay afloat. May God bless you all. I truly pray it works out for you.Comment publication date: 3/28/26, 9:22 PMComment source: Local Rancher Says Navy Land Expansion is Devastating His Family RanchComment author: Lynn JohnsonComment text: I remember your mother well; she was a lovely and kind woman.

I see glimpses of your face in the years worn onto my dad. It makes me feel more connected to you in some way. I remember the familiar kindness from you that I know in my dad. I would’ve really liked to have a good conversation. I only have a handful of memories with you, but you were loving, and you were kind. I wish I was able to say more. If I am someone to you, I hope I make you proud. Thank you Aunt for this sweet post.Comment publication date: 3/27/26, 12:11 AMComment source: Obituary -- Randolph Floris Banovich C Comment author: RBCComment text: The Navy should reimburse the market cost of replacing the grazing land they are taking.
