Fond du Lac Tribal and Community College in Cloquet, Minnesota, conferred associate degrees and diplomas on the 183 students who make up the Class of 2020 during a virtual commencement ceremony on May 14, 2020.

The ceremony concluded with a salute and congratulations from college employees.

Testimonials

My favorite thing about FDLTCC is the people. I’ve met fantastic students, faculty and staff who go above and beyond what I expected.

I chose FDLTCC because of its size and the curriculum. When I first came here in 2019, I was just looking for what I needed to volunteer, perhaps in a crisis shelter. I met with Don Jarvinen, and the rest is history.

It is awesome here at the FDLTCC Education Program because it is like a family here, if you need help or are struggling with anything, you have quite a few people who will help you out.
