But don't just take it from us...
Ahhabya Leconte, Class of 2022
"Being a UWW student allows me to pursue my passion and advance my career through online education while I balance a full-time schedule. I am a mom of 3 kids under the age of 5, as well as a full-time employee."
Sarah Fusco, Current UWW Student
"I am looking to pursue an education to enhance my job prospects, in order to care for my children better. I've been in and out of school most of my adult life trying to complete my degree, and thanks to programs like UWW Interdisciplinary Studies, I now feel like I am able to accomplish my goal."
Wesley Days, Class of 2019
"This has been a process 30+ years in the making. And so to complete my degree from UWW UMass is absolutely amazing... There were classes and courses offered that allowed me to broaden my experience as a human being... It has been very rewarding, but it has also allowed me to be the father of two teenage children while also pursuing my degree... It's never too late."
Lysianne Audet Jones, Class of 2024 UWW Commencement Speaker
"Because of the online classes, I was able to be flexible with managing my kids at home, managing my full-time job, as well as managing my diabetes... I recently started a job at Insulet Corporation so I'm hoping to grow into bigger roles in the company, and help people with a similar condition."
