I love working at WGU because my coworkers truly feel like family. Our team collaborates exceptionally well, supports one another, and genuinely cares about both our shared success and the well-being of each individual. As a Lead Evaluator in the Cybersecurity program, I feel a direct connection to student success, knowing that every time we evaluate a submission, we are helping a student take another step toward graduation, which is especially meaningful to me because I am a WGU alumna.

I absolutely love my role because it allows me to support students at some of the most pivotal moments in their academic and professional journeys. As a Senior Program Mentor, my 'why' is rooted in helping students build confidence, navigate challenges, and realize they are capable of far more than they initially believed, just like my WGU Program Mentor did for me. This job feels like 'paying it forward' and building meaningful connections all at the same time. Watching students overcome obstacles, persist toward their goals, and grow throughout their program is what makes this work deeply meaningful to me.

Lauren C., Sr. Program Mentor

What I love most about my role is helping students realize that they can earn their education on their own terms and that success is possible, even when life is complex. As a two-time WGU graduate, I bring both lived experience and practical insight into my mentoring, using what I've learned to better support students as they work toward their goals. What keeps me invested is WGU's innovative spirit and genuine willingness to listen. Ideas are encouraged, growth is supported, and improving the student experience is a shared responsibility.

Wesley R., Sr. Program Mentor

I've spent most of my life working in Education and Mental Health. As a Program Mentor, I get to use a unique blend of both skillsets to help students navigate their academic, professional, and personal lives. Each student's story is different; it's my role to truly listen, support, and meet each student where they're at every single day.

Ryan S., Program Mentor

As an instructor who teaches programming, I love that I can meet with students and teach them how to debug their code. I tell them that while they are in my course, I will be their best friend they can turn to when their code crashes, but after they pass, the debugger will become their best friend. It will be there for them when things go wrong, helping them to make things right again!
