WGU Texas Graduate Speaker, Michael Cole

For Michael Cole (Abilene), the journey to earn his Master of Science in Information Security and Assurance began in Texas and continued throughout four moves, including one to Afghanistan, and ended on Saturday, October 26, 2013, as he walked the stage at WGU Texas' second annual commencement ceremony. Like all WGU Texas graduates, Cole's personal journey to earning his degree is unique—but his story and the stories of his fellow graduates share the common themes of hard work, determination, and the need for a flexible, nontraditional university education that fits the life of a busy working adult.
