Transcript

Every step forward begins with an idea. Maybe you have a dream to create a better tomorrow for your community, to finally accomplish your lifelong goals, to change the world in a big way, or perhaps you simply want to prove to yourself you can do it.

To make a difference, you need the strength to break down barriers and the courage to challenge the status quo. It takes enthusiasm, commitment, and dedication to make your idea become a reality. It's time to start a movement. It's time to follow your why. At Walden University, we help you turn ideas into impact, thought into action, we help you turn why into how. That's our why. What's yours? Follow your why.
