“I work for an Internet-based
company with a global reach. [On]
Valentine’s Day—[the] biggest
day of the year for us—our server
crashed. I used the management
skills I learned at UMUC. I knew
the steps to take, and we were
back in business. My Moment?
Finding a solution, and a
personal acknowledgment from
the CEO.”

“We’d be reading weekly
and talking about ideas and
concepts and I’d be sitting in
meetings at work, and I’d have

‘Oh my gosh. This is exactly
what we were talking about
last night.’”

“I’m a middle school English teacher.
Learning styles are different from student
to student. At UMUC, I was taught to
accommodate different learning styles
and make it fun. I introduce new words
with context, drawings, and props. It
works. I made a difference. That was
my Moment.”
