Join us for our 2018 Graduate Reception THIS FRIDAY, May 4 to celebrate the Doyon Foundation Class of 2018! The event takes place this Friday at 2 p.m. at the Doyon Industrial Facility at 701 Bidwell Avenue in Fairbanks.
This is our opportunity celebrate the hard work and incredible accomplishments of our students who are at the end of one important journey and getting ready to start on the next. We’ll have inspiring addresses from our student and alumni speakers, recognize our graduates, and enjoy refreshments.
