WGU Owl's Nest
We can hardly contain our enthusiasm as we prepare to unveil the much-anticipated Owl's Nest—a brand-new platform designed especially for you, our valued WGU students and alumni.
 
 
To give you a sneak peek of what to expect, the Owl’s Nest will be the go-to space to connect, collaborate, and engage with fellow Night Owls throughout the educational journey, graduation, and beyond. Built with you in mind, the Owl's Nest will be the perfect platform to stay involved and network within the Night Owl community.

Your active participation within the Owl's Nest will earn you points that can be redeemed for exclusive WGU swag and other exciting rewards as a token of our appreciation for your dedication.

As we work diligently to make the Owl's Nest flight-ready, keep your inboxes open as we send out new invitations to students and alumni over the coming weeks. It's going to be a hoot!
