Are you a graduating student aiming to complete all your requirements by the end of December?
WGU recognizes the importance of your accomplishment as you cross the threshold from pursuing to attaining your degree. Currently, WGU holds two commencements per year so that graduating students and graduates have the opportunity to attend the commencement that is closest to their actual graduation date. Two of the three state-specific universities—WGU Indiana and WGU Washington—hold their own state commencements for graduates from those states. WGU Texas graduates may participate in cap and gown in the general WGU commencement ceremony in Atlanta if they submit an online RSVP by deadline (see date below) because their state-specific ceremony is not set yet.
The 2012 Winter Commencement Ceremony will be held in Atlanta, Georgia, on Saturday, February 11, 2012. A winter mixer reception is scheduled on Friday, February 10, and will be a relaxing face-to-face introduction to fellow graduates

Are you currently seeking employment? While you know you are not alone in searching for work, sometimes you may feel isolated and discouraged. To assist you in your search and to keep you motivated, WGU Alumni and Career Services hosts a weekly Job Club.
Job Club is a discussion group, which provides an opportunity for learning, participation, and support. Recent hot topics included positive callbacks, best answers to tough interview questions, how LinkedIn networking is different from a static profile, the importance of a succinct “elevator” speech about one’s own skills and experience, and strategies for mature workers or job seekers. Often callers are former high-level executives or hiring managers and lend their expertise to the mix. Participants put their real-life experiences into forward motion by helping other students and alumni gain job search skills, current career information, and best practices.
