At UMGC, we believe that everyone has a story worth telling—stories of triumph, perseverance, and transformation, and that’s why we launched the Unstoppable Stories podcast.  From entrepreneurs and artists to athletes and educators, our guests share their personal journeys, offering valuable insights, life lessons, and inspiration. Episodes air twice a month.

On August 26, we featured a bonus episode with UMGC President Dr. Gregory Fowler and Dr. Angie Besendorfer Martin, UMGC's Chief Learner Experience & Success Officer discussing what it really means to build a student-centered institution: rethinking degrees around demonstrated skills rather than seat time, using AI to enhance rather than replace the human elements of teaching, and creating a consistent UMGC experience for learners everywhere from military bases overseas to fully online classrooms.
