THE TRIPLE EAGLE CLUB
DEGREES FUEL A TRAJECTORY OF REMARKABLE SUCCESS Determination, a peerless work ethic and three degrees from Embry-Riddle have helped Rachelle Strong (’11, ’15, ’20) build a career without compromise. As a flight deck chief engineer at Boeing Commercial Airplanes, Strong has leveraged her experience and a trio of degrees — a B.S. in Aerospace Engineering, an M.S. in Project Management and a Ph.D. in Aviation. — to become a leader at the global aerospace giant. This achievement highlights her range of abilities as an engineer, pilot, manager and human factors specialist. “Attending Embry-Riddle allowed me to do everything I wanted to do, and that was a game changer,” Strong said. “Embry-Riddle was flexible enough and allowed me to have everything I wanted without having to make choices, and that’s important to me. I use the information and the experience that I gained there every day in my job, and I’ve seen the benefits pay off.”
