Joann Kozyrev

As Vice President for Design & Development, I am privileged to lead the Western Governor’s University team of talented and mission-driven curriculum specialists, instructional designers, assessment experts, and content creators and curators. Together we are responsible for ensuring that every WGU student has an engaging learning experience and the opportunity to succeed by demonstrating what they know and can do. We put student learning and success at the center of all that we do and we work relentlessly to continuously improve the relevance and quality of our learning experiences and ensure that our graduates can credibly demonstrate the value they have to offer to employers. I believe that education should ignite students’ passion for learning and give them the tools they need to have greater impact in their lives, their careers and their communities.
