UOPX alumni rise up to support their communities during coronavirus pandemic

People are struggling as a result of COVID-19 and, in most states, small businesses have been hit the hardest. It is now more important than ever that we support one another through the pandemic.

Across the country, University of Phoenix graduates are rising up to support their communities and fellow Phoenixes during the coronavirus pandemic. Below is a partial list of small businesses owned and operated by alumni, along with special promotions and ways they are giving back.
