It’s called character development.
My success story is pretty well known and plastered on social media. I’m 20 with a 4 year degree. I FLEW through 120 credits in 2 years. I was part of my school’s honor society and was a social media ambassador to represent my college. But what I haven’t shared and posted about but need to are my failures....I failed my final project (edTPA) THREE TIMES. This was by far the hardest and most challenging hurdle I’ve ever faced. Here’s to being DONE! & getting through the most difficult challenge of my life!
We love a good surprise – especially when we get to help plan it! We teamed up with WGU alum Rozel Lashley to surprise her parents with a graduation ceremony for the MBA she earned in secret over the past year. Bonus surprise: Rozel's now-fiancé surprised her with a proposal at the event. 🎉 https://bit.ly/35tW3vc

Earning a degree can be particularly challenging when you’re the first in your family to do so, yet, 40% of current WGU students are first-generation college attendees. Are you the first in your family to pursue a degree?
Hats (or grad caps 🎓 ) off to our students for being amazingly productive and trusting us with their education during such an uncertain time! Between March 1 to October 1, 2020, WGU had a 30% increase in total degrees awarded over the same time last year. That’s nearly an additional 7,000 more degrees earned!

If there’s one thing I’ve learned throughout my college career at WGU, it’s to get comfortable. When I first started my bachelor’s program I tried to make my school set-up as clean and professional as possible, but then I started asking myself “why?” I chose an online program for a reason! If I wanted to sit in a boring classroom I’d be at a traditional university. From that point on I started working whenever and wherever I felt like it. On the beach, in front of a fire, in a hammock. All of the above! Being free to work how and when I felt comfortable to work is what enabled me to accomplish becoming the first in my family to hold a bachelors degree, and now I’ve even gone on to complete my masters program through WGU! @calebbrown13
