Remembering Ken "Doc" Gifford

With great sadness, we learned of the passing of Ken "Doc" Gifford this last weekend. Doc was Director (President) of our college from 1982-2000 and his accomplishments were many. When you walk into our beautiful building, you can thank Doc Gifford as he was instrumental in its construction. 

Doc Gifford was the recipient of WDT's first Exceptional Legacy Leader Award in 2019. His contributions to our college will be remembered.
