The Student Soldier
Halligan, Tom
Community College Journal, v78 n1 p22-25 Aug-Sep 2007
Educating America's service men and women has long been a core mission of many community colleges, especially in cities and towns that host military bases and installations. Today, a soldier, sailor, or Marine can be stationed anywhere in the world and continue his or her education with the help of distance learning initiatives. Whether a soldier is stationed in war-torn Baghdad, in the rugged mountains of Afghanistan, or on an ice breaker in Antarctica, emerging technologies provide access to a community college education. This article describes three community colleges that serve the military and offer distance learning for military personnel.
