Real Graduates. Real Impact. Real Stories. Share Yours.
WGU alumni are leaders, changemakers, parents, professionals, and dreamers—and every Night Owl has a story. By sharing your journey, you can inspire current students, encourage prospective learners, celebrate your accomplishments, and help others see what’s possible.
Your experience is part of the WGU story. Use your voice. Share your insights. Tell us where your journey has taken you.
Share Your Story Through a Guided Interview
Your WGU journey is more than a written response—it’s your voice, your perspective, and the moments that shaped your path. Through our guided video and audio interview experience, you’ll answer thoughtful questions about your WGU journey, your accomplishments, the challenges you’ve overcome, and the advice you would share with others.
This is the best way for us to capture the heart of your experience. Stories shared through the interview may be considered for WGU websites, marketing materials, social content, university videos, and alumni storytelling features such as Hoo’s Who at WGU.
Tips Before You Begin:
- Set aside about 10 minutes
- Find a quiet space
- Video is encouraged—it helps us create a more personal experience.
- You don’t need a polished script. We want your real story, in your real voice.
