Soldier spends time taking online classes - Jessica MacIntosh, The Chart Online
Many servicemen wait until they have finished their service to finish their education, but not Pfc. Duane West. "I think it displays the power of distance learning," said Dr. Jack Spurlin, vice president for lifelong learning, "that it really doesn't matter where you are at and what you are doing. If you have access to a computer, you have access to an education." Stockton native West, sophomore undecided major, has been serving in the U.S. Army for 16 months and is taking nine credit hours. "Education has always been an important priority in my life, so I am continually striving to learn," he said. "Education and the pursuit of a degree is a great goal to set whether you are serving overseas in a combat zone or working full time in the states."
