Yet, these students never took classes at the school's campus in Romeoville. Through a so-called 3+1 program partnership between Lewis and College of DuPage, the students earned their four-year degrees from Lewis by taking all their classes at COD's campus in Glen Ellyn. http://www.dailyherald.com/article/20130517/news/705179914/ http://www.dailyherald.com/article/20130517/news/705179914/ Fri, 17 May 2013 00:19:06 -0400 Adjunct professors at the College of DuPage are set to receive salary increases as part of a two-year contract extension approved Thursday by the college's board of trustees.

As York's starting pitcher he struck out 10 Willowbrook batters. As the Dukes' No. 2 hitter in the lineup, the senior struck out three times himself at the plate. So when Pitlock batted in the bottom of the seventh Thursday at Schaumburg High School, he tried something different. Much different. Pitlock drove in the game-winning run with a two-out RBI single that gave York a 2-1 victory over Willowbrook in the Class 4A Schaumburg regional baseball semifinals. http://www.dailyherald.com/article/20130523/sports/705239620/ http://www.dailyherald.com/article/20130523/sports/705239620/ Thu, 23 May 2013 22:43:22 -0400 Bartlett pitcher Holly Pagan wasn't concerned about a no-hitter or a perfect game she lost in the Hawks' 9-1 regional semifinal win over No. 12 Addison Trail on Thursday.

According to the American Association of University Women, a gender pay gap not only exists, but it develops right away. Women working full time one year after graduation are paid an average of 18 percent less than men also working full time one year later. "We were really trying to get at a group that was as close to the same as possible right out of college," said Christianne Corbett of the AAUW. "And we still found a gap."
