Great to see #UMGC recognized with Montgomery County’s Public Safety Partner Award for its partnership with the Montgomery County Police Department and efforts to expand education opportunities for officers and their families.

Nearly 20 years in law enforcement — and still choosing to grow. This story of a Pennsylvania State Police leader earning his degree at #UMGC is a strong reminder that experience and education build on each other.

Chike Aghu referenced Yogi Berra’s quote “If you don’t know where you’re going, you’ll end up somewhere else” to make the point that the U.S. higher education system must be very different and position us for the future. We have no other choice. The time is now. #CCANext2025

Enjoyed connecting with leaders from across industries at Guild’s 2025 Opportunity Summit in San Diego—an inspiring event focused on how we can see talent differently.

I was pleased to attend alongside Chris Motz, UMGC’s Chief Partnerships Officer, and Julien Oudart, Head of Partnerships at OpenClassrooms. Together, @umdglobalcampus and @OpenClassrooms are building pathways from IT apprenticeships to degrees and collaborating through our DOL Apprenticeships Building America 2 grant to expand access nationwide.

Events like #OpportunitySummit2025 highlight the power of collaboration in shaping the future of learning and work. Thank you to @GuildEducation for bringing together such an innovative community of partners.
