DEAN’S MESSAGE From the very inception of Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, the university’s foundation has been aviation and, with it, the safe training of all facets of the aviation ecosystem. Our rigorous programs establish the gold standard for the industry we serve. As the College of Aviation Dean, I am proud to see that dedication in our faculty, staff and students every single day. The College of Aviation family welcomes students from all over the world to take part in the top-tier programs we offer to help set them on the path to achieving their dreams and ambitions. We take this honor very seriously and feel there is no better way than serving to that end. The college’s core values of scholarship, commitment and service reflect this mindset. While our facilities and aircraft are of the highest caliber, the College of Aviation’s focus on a theoretical foundation of teaching, coupled with practitioner-based learning, truly sets our students apart and creates the most career-ready graduate. Our students participate in undergraduate research and collaborative opportunities in a wide array of disciplines and, as such, enjoy a broad level of experience. Through industry partnerships and our continual focus on relevance, we keep our student success in mind and work vigorously in that facet. People make an organization, and it is the people who make this college a wonderful place to be! In this publication, we are honored to share a small snapshot of what makes the College of Aviation a truly special place to be, and why the future is so very bright.
