Active troops finding time for class- Associated Press
While other members of Governors State University's Class of 2002 were accepting their diplomas, fellow graduate Lt. Dean F. Dunlop was 6,000 miles away leading officers in combat training. Like others, Dunlop earned his bachelor of arts degree from the suburban Chicago, Illinois, school by taking child development and psychology courses, but he did it via CD-ROM, often doing homework on his laptop after a 12-hour work shift in Japan. Service members like Dunlop are no longer waiting for active duty to end before starting college, instead earning MBAs from Iraq and taking computer courses in Afghanistan as part of the military's commitment to lifelong learning.
