It's been a week since the annual Academy Summit! Let us not forget our virtual team who apparently had quite the blast even when the (computer) lights were going out!

"Seriously, what a wonderful experience Summit was! I’m totally pooped but I’m so happy I was able to connect with as many of you as I did. I’m a little embarrassed and kind of sad I only got 4 photos of the entire week!"

-Mariah Johnston

"PACA has given me so much. Learning about how I learn and communicate has changed my life! I have never been a focused student, but because of PACA, I was able to complete my English course in 2 weeks!

"I have never felt so seen in an academic setting the way that I do here."

WGU Academy learner Breanna joined our team this morning from Hawaii (4am her time!) to share her experience in PACA as she pursues her degree in teaching at @wgu.

Congratulations to our 2022 Summit winners! From recognizing the hard work of our fellow colleagues to "wowing" the crowd with incredible eye-popping tricks!

(No coworkers were hurt during the filming of this summit...)
