Bob Benson, Western Governors University Regional Director

WGU has conferred over 500,000 degrees, illustrating significant educational reach and positive effects on students, families, and communities, especially in the context of the Arizona footprint.

Patrick Rakovsky, Starting goalie for the Phoenix Rising
Q: Which aspects of the game do fans typically misunderstand when first watching soccer?
Many fans confuse the offside rule and the purpose of the goalkeeper's hands, and there's a learning curve around how fouls, cards, and substitutions influence the flow and strategy of the game.
Patrick Rakovsky, Starting goalie for the Phoenix Rising
Q: What is the deal with the clock in soccer and how does stoppage time work?
Stoppage time is added at the referee's discretion for injuries, time-wasting, and other delays, with a fourth official communicating how much extra time remains; the game can exceed four or five minutes as needed in each half.
Thomas Kloza, Chief Energy Advisor for Gulf Oil
Q: How dramatically did prices rise and how soon do we feel that at the pump typically?
Prices rose modestly, with crude up about $5 per barrel and gasoline up around 10 cents per gallon; this is viewed as a preview of further potential increases depending on how the Strait of Hormuz situation unfolds. The timing suggests that pump prices could continue to show upticks in the near term as developments play out.
