Air University honored the first group of graduates of the Air Force’s Associate-to-Baccalaureate Cooperative (ABC) program on April 22 by presenting a plaque of recognition to SSgt. Lisa Kilpatrick, an Airman Leadership School instructor from Eglin AFB, Fla., who was one of the first to complete her ABC degree. Lt. Gen. Allen Peck, AU commander, and Tito Guerreo, AU board of visitors chair, presented Kilpatrick with the plaque during a luncheon at the officers club at Maxwell AFB, Ala. The ABC program allows graduates of the Community College of the Air Force to apply a majority of their credits towards a bachelor’s degree. (AETC photo caption by Melanie Rodgers Cox)
