Another online student: Joe Dumars, Detroit Pistons GM

"Joe Dumars will receive his degree from McNeese State on Saturday"

...Dumars was able to complete his degree requirements through the convenience of e-learning. The number of courses offered by McNeese through the Internet has increased in recent years to accommodate students who want to finish their degrees, but aren't able to attend traditional classes - students like Dumars.

"The creation of online courses has given us greater flexibility to deliver a quality educational program long distance," Dr. Mitchell Adrian, dean of the college of business, said. "Joe is very busy, but once we found a way to fit the coursework into his schedule, everything went smoothly."

Dumars will receive a Bachelor of Science degree in business management from McNeese...

Cool!

 

It is heartening to know some athletes value an education. Good work.
