Brandon Thompson, who joined American Modern Insurance Group, a Munich Re company, in 2015, recently completed his B.A. in Operations Management and Analysis. He is the 100th employee to earn a debt-free degree from University of Arizona Global Campus, through this program.
“After working as a Journeyman Electrician for 12 years, I wanted to move into Facilities and Maintenance Management,” said Thompson, Maintenance Electrician. “Initially, I thought doing my degree online would be difficult. I worried that I miss the full educational experience. However, thanks to the technology resources provided by UAGC and the ability to always call a staff member, I never felt alone on my educational journey.”
“On behalf of Zovio Employer Services, we are thrilled to congratulate Brandon on earning his degree,” said Vice President of Zovio Employer Services Sam Fernandez. “Organizations that partner with Zovio Employer Services and UAGC to offer full tuition grants and tuition benefits have a unique opportunity to provide their employees with access to debt-free higher education.”
