Graduation Day at Risio Institute!

Carey-Ann Thurlow

June 1, 2023

Risio Institute hosts their first graduation ceremony on June 3rd at Venue 308 in Calgary, Alberta. While we have seen many graduating classes come through Risio Institute’s Dental Assistant Distance Delivery Program, we have always hosted a small ceremony with our students in the clinical setting. We thought that it was time to take the celebration to the next level and celebrate with family and friends at an amazing venue in our city!

We chose Venue 308 for its luxe design and casual but sophisticated interior. As their website states, Venue 308 offers “sunlight dappled walls, original brick pillars, art deco styling, and is a perfect canvas for any possibility”. We could not think of a better choice! Our graduates will enjoy a casual afternoon, celebrating this great milestone in their lives. And we will celebrate this great success alongside each and every graduate, knowing that we have fulfilled our mission and vision! Check out this link for more information on Venue 308! https://www.venue308.com/


We are so passionate about Risio’s delivery model and look forward to seeing
these students back with us for post-graduate learning!
