President of @UoPeople: Non-profit, tuition-free, accredited, online university. When traveling for business, colleagues are permitted to post on my behalf.
UoPeople achieved WASC accreditation!!! University of the People is now accredited by WASC, alongside top institutions like UC Berkeley and Stanford.
This is a huge step for our students and alumni worldwide. The future is bright!

As an #entrepreneur, I’ve learned: The bigger the mission, the more people doubt you. They said @UoPeople couldn’t be tuition-free, volunteer-based, and accredited. Now we have 153K students & #WASC accreditation. You don’t need permission. Just start. #highereducation
"When children and youth are deprived of their right to education, their community is deprived of a sustainable future. It is all the more true with refugees." - Forest Whitaker

#HigherEducation for all is possible — and @UoPeople shows how.
This week I joined a @UN Expert Group meeting on launching an online university for Least Developed Countries.
We must act now—2030 is near, and #education must stay central to global progress. #HigherEducation
Remote learning builds the same skills people need in today’s workplace. #Motivation, self discipline, teamwork & the ability to thrive outside an office. That is why employers are starting to value online education more than ever. #OnlineLearning#FutureOfWork#RemoteEducation
#HigherEd should not only prepare you for #success. It should prepare you for uncertainty, for change & for when plans fall apart. In a world where change is constant, #education must go beyond textbooks. It should teach us how to adapt, rebuild, and keep going. #UoPeople
