Hundreds of students graduate from Doane University every year. For a brief time — usually two or four years — they're immersed in a collaborative, caring environment aimed at preparing them to lead in their community and careers. Below are just a few of the incredibly talented Tigers graduating with a bachelor's or master's degree this May.
Cristian Yanez
Yanez recently completed an engineering internship with the Lincoln Airport where he prepared weekly reports on a new hangar, did pavement ratings on the airport's roads and used AutoCAD technology for hangar drawings. The Mexico City native will be staying in the United States after graduation to take a job with Olsson's aviation team.
Jason Boyd
Boyd will be a two-time Doane alum after he earns his master's in educational leadership in May. He first graduated from Doane with his bachelor's degree in 2004. Boyd, who currently is a safety engagement specialist at Omaha Public Schools, is on a mission to better his community and remain authentic to himself.
Kwame Gyamfi
Gyamfi will graduate in May with a bachelor degree in human relations, which provides the finishing touches on his extensive career in public education. He hopes to take on more public speaking engagements and continue his role as at the Malone Center as CLC Site Director/SCC.
Kasey Dils
Dils will be a not one, not two, but three-time Doane alum when he graduates in May with his master's in leadership. It was a big deal the first time as a first-generation student. It's still a big deal as he said he feels empowered to lead in a variety of education roles.
Kate Konrad
Every semester, Konrad had the opportunity to apply concepts from readings and discussions during in-person field experiences. With her new Master of Education in Educational Leadership degree and honed leadership abilities, she'll continue to serve her students and community in her role as an instructional coach.
