WGU Sage Advice with Chris Bonnell
What is Western Governors University? This is the most common question that I receive. The simple answer is, WGU is an online, competency-based higher education institution that promises students a high-quality, low-cost education. But there is so much more to the WGU story. My name is Chris Bonnell and I am the host of Sage Advice, a new podcast from Western Governors University. I’ve spent the past eight years sharing this story with legislators and community leaders across the country. And now, through the Sage Advice podcast, I share it with you. I’m sitting down for conversations with my esteemed colleagues at Western Governors University and experts across the industry. Together, we will share the stories of who WGU was designed to serve, how we are making education work for everyone, and why we proudly claim to be the most student-centric university in the world. Follow us wherever you get your content so you don’t miss a single episode, and stay tuned for Sage Advice from WGU.
