WHITE COAT ROCK WAS A RESOUNDING SUCCESS!
SPINAL CHORDS BROUGHT THE HOUSE DOWN.
May 15, 2025 - The Upstate Nursing Alumni Association and College of Health Professions Alumni Association hosted White Coat Rock, a fundraising concert at Funk ’n Waffles in downtown Syracuse. The event featured live performances by Spinal Chords, a band made up of Upstate students, faculty, and staff—and local rock favorite Jam Theory. Together, they brought the energy and raised funds to support student scholarships at Upstate Medical University. It was a powerful and joyful night celebrating music, community, and the future of healthcare.
