Learn About the Experiences of Asian/Pacific American Students at WGU
Every student is unique. We feel that your educational experience should be as individual as you are. We value our students' differences because we believe diversity brings strength, which is why we strive to be the world's most inclusive university. WGU strives to close the gap between skill and opportunity.
We work to recognize, promote, and amplify the voices of students around the country while also expanding opportunities for them. This mission motivates us to provide high-quality, equitable higher education to people from all walks of life. We work to achieve equity for all students by making college degrees more accessible.
Join us as we celebrate Asian/Pacific American Heritage Month, and recognize how students and employees are making a difference in their communities around the country.
