Elton Hima '17 discovered moving around the world brings opportunity. See how he combined that spirit with a UMGC degree, leading to a career advancing the State Department’s cyber goals.

UMGC announced it signed an Educational Service Agreement with the U.S. Department of Defense to continue teaching courses at military installations within the U.S. Indo-Pacific Command in Asia, which dates back to 1956.

These UMGC educators are among nine named as this year’s recipients of the Stanley J. Drazek Teaching Excellence Award. Nominations for the awards, which carry a $1,500 honorarium, come from students.
