Dunlap-Stone University
The tradition of learning embodied by Dunlap-Stone University reaches back to the earliest decades of the 20th century. It began when a pioneering school teacher, Sue Marie Stone, a graduate of the Northwestern Oklahoma Teachers College (now NW Oklahoma State University) bravely accepted a job teaching in a one room school house in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains of Wyoming. She brought with her a love of learning and shared this and her knowledge with the children of the settlers in their remote and isolated community. With her marriage to Emmett Merle Dunlap, a graduate civil engineer designing and building numerous bridges and dams for the U.S. Corps of Engineers across the western U.S., she formed a partnership for life– a partnership that fostered education and enlightened learning through those she taught, her children and grandchildren. One of these grandchildren is the founder of the International Import-Export Institute, Dr. Donald N Burton.
With this rich history, Dunlap-Stone University (DSU) seeks to continue the tradition of bringing education to those normally considered to distant and remote to receive a quality education.. DSU serves as a bedrock for life-long learning and education for people throughout the world with a hunger for knowledge. Through its various embodied schools and programs, DSU will offer a wide variety of disciplined learning, encompassing business, social sciences and the humanities. The International Import-Export Institute is the first of many schools envisioned to be within the Dunlap-Stone University.
