William Blake
Alumnus - Wright City, Missouri
William describes the majority of his life as looking from the bottom up. When William’s superiors at his workplace told him he needed a college degree to move up the management and pay ladder, he turned to University of Phoenix. He was drawn to the University’s focus on the development of the individual in a team environment and knew it aligned with his workplace culture.
He completed his Bachelor of Science in Business Management in November 2009 and is now recognized as a Subject Matter Expert in the aerospace industry in quality circles. He will be up for promotion again in June 2010 as a Level 5 Quality Specialist. He has experienced first hand the benefits of a college degree and wishes to help his friend Michelle add value to her resume and list of accomplishments.
