Becoming a Doane Tiger

Students make the transition from a prospective Doane student to an enrolled one by attending an Enrollment Day. While this next phase of life can be exciting, it can also bring new sets of questions as you navigate the transition to college. Your summer Enrollment Day is designed to create a smooth transition to life as a Doane Tiger.
