Attend Ashworth College “Live” Events!

Thursday, July 22nd, 2010

As leaders in the online education field, our faculty and staff here at Ashworth College believe it’s very important to continuously innovate dynamic ways to communicate with our student community. Our Ashworth College “Live” Events initiative has proven to be quite a hit and has helped us take our vision in exciting new directions, which is why we continue to exponentially increase the number and frequency of these events every month. These events are terrific opportunities to interact with Instructors on the cutting edge of their field and gain career advancement insights that only a true expert can provide.

In addition to our career training oriented chats, we host weekly student orientation chats that are open to existing students and anyone else simply interested in learning more about what Ashworth College is all about. The orientation chat allows you to get all of your questions answered and issues resolved by an Ashworth Student Advisor via “live” video stream. You don’t even need a web cam to participate—just show up and gain plenty of valuable personal, educational, and career advice to help you get ahead!

We’re adding new events on a daily basis, so please check out the Ashworth College Event Calendar for the latest information. Thanks everyone!

Hi, my name is Lisa and I just wanted to let Ashworth High School know that I’m very thankful for the opportunity to fulfill my dream of graduating high school. I know that you probably hear that a lot, but I really can’t express how much this accomplishment means to me. You have helped me fill a void that I’ve been trying to fill for 10 years and this is the best feeling in the world.

I offer you thanks from the bottom of my heart. You will never know how you helped me not only gain wisdom and knowledge, but also how this experience gave me back the confidence that “I’ve still got it…”

Well, that was all I wanted to say—you all rock!

Thanks for helping me make my dream come true!
