Mark and Judy Wilcox Love Their Pathway Calling

    "BYU-Pathway Worldwide brings an innovative approach to education--one unique to the Church Educational System, and to the world ," says President Russell M. Nelson.  The church values education and with BYU-Pathway Worldwide, everyone can access higher education.

• The cost is low and there is adaptive pricing.  Tuition is approximately half the cost of traditional universities.
• BYU-Pathway Worldwide inspires hope, opening new opportunities to learn by study and by faith
• Courses and programs are completely online.  All a student needs is access to the Internet to be able to participate--anywhere in the world.

   Where do Mark and Judy Wilcox come in?  They do their work on the Internet like teachers, but they fulfill another roll.  They encourage potential students to register for Pathway to earn certificates or degrees. They welcome students to the program with pre-coursework phone calls. They facilitate a two hour "gathering" on Wednesday evenings where a lead-student directs a discussion of the week's lessons. They use a Zoom room to talk with their 18-20 students, answering questions, sharing testimonies and encouraging everyone to participate.

   The Wilcoxes are given an agenda for each week. They encourage  students to share insights with one another so they can learn from each other and deepen their understanding.  The evening includes prayers and songs that invite spirituality.  Mark and Judy are a support to the students with reminders of their goals and they help them stay on track. They are known as Pathway Missionaries. They say: WE LOVE WHAT WE DO!!
