WGU Texas, an online nonprofit university, has moved into a new headquarters in Northwest Austin and is hosting an open house March 6. The 20,000-square-foot headquarters is located at 12515 Research Blvd., Bldg. 8, Ste. 250, Austin, and houses offices for the chancellor, executive staff and enrollment counselors. The headquarters also has training, conference and meeting rooms. WGU Texas, which previously was located in downtown Austin, plans to use the move to a larger location to focus on expanding its services and growing its student population. The university, which launched in 2011, awarded degrees to about 2,000 students in 2017. Officials expect to award the university's 10,000th degree later in 2018. The open house is from 5-7 p.m., and attendees can tour the new facility and hear from WGU leaders about the growth of its innovative higher education model. https://texas.wgu.edu
