School of Business

I'm passionate about growth, discovery, and the transformative power of 'lightbulb moments' — those moments when a student's confidence sparks and they begin to shine. My role as a mentor is guiding students toward clarity, confidence, and self-belief by creating space for reflection and growth. The most rewarding part of my work is witnessing that breakthrough when something clicks and a student steps forward with new purpose. At the heart of my mentoring is a commitment to helping students grow, shine, and believe in themselves, and it's a privilege to walk alongside them on that journey.

Sandra W., Sr. Program Mentor, School of Business

I joined WGU to support students during some of the most pivotal moments in their educational journey. Watching students shift from self-doubt to confidence as they discover their potential is truly inspiring. Guiding them to understand that progress comes from consistency, not perfection — and seeing fear turn into confidence as they break big goals into manageable steps — is what makes this work so meaningful.

WGU Changes Lives. It changed my life. I knew Program Mentoring at WGU was for me from the moment I learned it existed. WGU's commitment to accessibility and return on investment for our students makes me incredibly proud to be part of what we do every day. I get to help people see the best in themselves and achieve their dreams.

Amber L., Sr. Program Mentor, School of Business

I have been with WGU since 2022, teaching in the undergraduate Healthcare Administration program. I love this role because it gives me the opportunity to positively affect real change in students' lives — helping them build confidence, overcome self-doubt, and move closer to their personal and professional goals. Those 'lightbulb moments,' when complex concepts finally click and students realize they can do this, are what energize me every day.

I enjoy being a WGU Evaluator because I get to be in a meaningful role in helping our WGU students transform their learning into real-world, professional achievements. Through my thoughtful and encouraging feedback, I support all students meaningfully as they refine their work and confidently demonstrate their learning in our competency-based environment. What inspires me most is watching our WGU students grow based on my evaluations, strengthening their critical thinking, and their progressing toward their goals.

Kasey H., Evaluator, School of Business

I love WGU because its unique model allows me, as an instructor, to zero in on what students really need. Because we are competency-based, I can focus on topics that are new to each student, rather than teaching everyone all of the same things, whether or not they already know them. Because we have rolling admissions and terms, I can work with students individually, as well as in groups, to meet them where they are and help them to reach competency.
