πŸŽ“ Iwakuni held its first Open House with staff and faculty taking the first step of connection and support to the military community. Our faculty sat down with active-duty Marines discussing and answering questions about their classes while staff demystified the college experience, career planning, and how to move toward achieving their goals.

One of our students, Xavier Jones, came in ready to be an asset for fellow Marines as he provided his experience and perspective as student in Okinawa and mainland Japan.

"UMGC [in] Asia is more than a university; it’s a community that reminds you that you’re never alone. The counselors and advisors care about more than your classes or degree. They genuinely care about you as a person. Whether you stop by for school guidance, life advice, a conversation, or simply to hang out, you are never a bother. Their doors are open, their support is genuine, and they truly want to see you succeed. That’s what makes UMGC in Asia feel like more than a school. It feels like a family away from home."

πŸ’™ Thank you for being a leader in your community, Xavier!

πŸŽ“ Meet Ashley Stephens.

What started with earning her GED became a journey across the globe.

Through multiple PCS moves from Korea to Italy and back to Korea, while growing her family to four, she stayed committed to her education. In 2024, she achieved a goal she once wasn't sure was possible, becoming a first-generation college graduate and earning her degree in History with a minor in East Asian Studies.

No matter where military life took her, Ashley kept moving forward. ✨

With flexible online classes, multiple start dates, and military-friendly transfer policies, stay on track wherever life takes you.

Victoria Paul put on an enormous unit brief for 836 Marines at Camp Schwab, Okinawa β€” all by herself. Her idea to engage the crowd with T-shirts and swag was a hit, helping open the door to transforming Marines' lives through education. With only five months in her Program Coordinator role, she showed poise, confidence, and professionalism, and made a strong brand statement. We're proud of you, Victoria β€” keep going! πŸ‘πŸ’ͺ

πŸ“š Taking education where our students serve.

The 374th Logistics Readiness Squadron recently launched its first unit class with Professor Breckenridge, helping Airmen make progress toward their CCAF requirements.

The initiative began with two active-duty Air Force students, Ezekiel Nanez and Alondra Aguirre, who are both in the final year of their bachelor's degree programs. Having benefited from unit classes in the past, they wanted to bring the same opportunity to their units.

When individual unit participation wasn't enough to start a class, they collaborated their respective units to build a cohort and create a convenient lunchtime learning opportunity for their fellow Airmen.

We're proud to support our students wherever they are.

We recently had the opportunity to connect with Soldiers from the Army 38th Air Defense on Camp Blaz in Guam!

Our team shared information about education opportunities, degree programs, and resources available to help service members reach their academic and career goals.

We’re proud to meet our military community where they are and help make education work alongside the mission.
