Let's celebrate your success!
This is a defining moment in your academic journey. As such, each of the NAIT Schools will be part of an assigned ceremony where we get to celebrate you. During these special celebrations, you will hear from NAIT’s President and CEO, Laura Jo Gunter plus many honoured guests, alumni, faculty and staff as they recognize your many achievements.
Together with your classmates, we will look back on your time at NAIT and celebrate your academic success.
