Celebrating its fifth year in the state, WGU North Carolina is an affiliate of Western Governors University, established 25 years ago by a bipartisan group of governors to meet changing workforce needs.

Dr. Quick is presently Vice President for Improving the Human Condition (ITHC) at RTI International but will transition to Senior Vice President of Education in October.
