"My family's business, Mitchell’s Electronic Solutions, has grown into a trusted provider of cutting-edge audio and video solutions in Houston. Our founder, Ben Mitchell (my husband), started by hanging TVs, and over the years, we have added services such as 4k camera systems, custom mesh network solutions, and home theatre services. Being a part of this family-run business, I've seen firsthand how our dedication to staying at the forefront of technological advancements and our focus on customer satisfaction has built a loyal customer base."In 2023, I ran across a WGU ad while watching TV and decided it was time to take us to the next level. I am a wife and a mother, and I run a business. I did not have four years to earn a traditional degree. WGU’s competency-based learning model allowed me to obtain my Bachelor of Science in Business Administration, focusing on management, in just five months. "I'm excited to lead our business into its next growth phase. As the operations manager, my recent studies at WGU have provided me with the knowledge and skills needed to elevate Mitchell’s Electronic Solutions to new heights. I will return to WGU in the fall and pursue a Master's in Digital Marketing. My education has given me a fresh perspective, and I'm eager to apply this to our family’s deep-rooted values and dedication."On this National Family-Owned and Operated Businesses Day, we are inspired by recent WGU grad Jessica Mitchell and we admire the innovative spirit she brings to her family's business. Her commitment to education and growth is truly commendable, and we look forward to seeing the continued success of her family business.#WGUgrad #business #FamilyOwnedBusiness #Leadership

"As a full-time nurse, wife, and mother to three young children, WGU has made my journey of professional development such a blessing. I have never felt like a number here. For a school with over 150,000 students, I never once felt unsupported or unseen. "Above any achievement I have earned at WGU, the greatest gift has come through my experiences with the people! As a working mom of three, going back to school would not have been a wise option for my family in this season of life. WGU's self-paced, competency-based program, coupled with the incredible staff, made it possible for me to obtain my MSN. I will always be grateful and will forever be an advocate of this organization! "Natalie Watkins MSN, RN, CCRN-CMC your dedication and perseverance are truly inspiring, and we are incredibly proud to have you as part of the WGU family. Congratulations on your well-deserved achievement (Master of Science, Nursing - Leadership and Management, BSN to MSN), and thank you for being a shining example of what is possible with determination and support!#WGUgrad #family #nurse #MSN

This Learning Disability Week, we want to spotlight incredible educators like Josh, a WGU alum who earned his Bachelor's in Special Education. Josh's journey is fueled by his passion and personal experiences. After stepping in as a substitute Special Ed teacher for over two years, Josh found the greatest reward in helping students realize their potential. "Revealing their potential to themselves...that's been the coolest thing." Thank you, Josh, and all the dedicated teachers who make a difference every day. Your impact is immeasurable. Are you a teacher? Tell us how you support learners with disabilities in the comments. #LearningDisabilityWeek #SpecialEducation #TeacherAppreciation

Jessica Sherhag's story is inspiring! She persevered through many life challenges to get her bachelor's degree with the support of her WGU #mentor, Samantha Eaves. According to Jessica, “Life would be boring without my cheerleader, so on to the next chapter titled Masters Time. Samantha is my mentor again, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.” We're excited to see what you conquer next, Jessica! #MentorshipMatters
