“I was hired for my position because of my expertise in digital learning and focus on solving problems, both of these things were strengthened during my time in the OPWL program.”
Jacob Connley, class of 2021
“I was introduced to the OPWL program, and within the first semester, I discovered how valuable it was. The research and service-learning-based coursework gave me tools and experiences that I could apply immediately in my career, and because of this, I was promoted to the Learning and Development Manager for my company.”

Rolanda Simmons, class of 2019
“If you want to find a program that is full of knowledgeable teachers and mentors, a well-rounded curriculum, and a community of continuous learning, apply to the OPWL program. You might also have the opportunity to surprise yourself with what you can accomplish.”
Matthew Romano, class of 2016
“The program allowed me to personally experience the real-world application of taking a systematic and systemic approach in solving organizational problems stemming from environmental and human factors; this methodology has not only assisted me in my current position as the Instructional Systems Support Chief at the Coast Guard’s Leadership Development Center, but will serve as a foundation throughout the rest of my military career and beyond.”
Jodi Mammeenga, class of 2021
“If, like me, you begin the program believing you want to focus your career in a certain area of instructional design or training, you’ll find yourself challenged (and supported) by instructors, staff, and fellow students as you explore new possibilities. You may enter hoping to find a good job, but you’ll discover you have a great career.”
