<group of family members; guests>
Group: Go Walden!
Woman 1: Walden had a program that not many other colleges had to offer, “Integrating Technology in the Classroom,” which I felt was really important with the way that technology is changing its way in the education field.
<man shaking the Dean's hand>
Man 1: Walden University makes me feel as a complete individual, an agent of change, and social scholar.
<split-screen; interview and graduate on stage>
Man 2: I chose Walden University because it was flexible, and also, it gave me an opportunity to do something that was nontraditional, something that I wanted to do.
Man 3: Walden seemed to have the best program that fit what I was looking for. It wasn’t all practical, it wasn’t all theory. It was kind of that mixture of both.

Amy Jaggers: Amy Jaggers.
Scott Jaggers: Scott Jaggers.
Amy Jaggers: And we just graduated as a married couple from Walden University!
Amy and Scott: Whoo! Yeah!
