Aviation Advisory Board

The Aviation Industry Advisory Board provides valuable oversight and industry consulting for the BGSU Aviation Program. They provide excellent perspective, guidance, and assessment of the FTO and AMO Aviation Program specializations. They also provide critical insight, review, and feedback on curriculum to ensure continuous improvement of the Aviation Program. Some board members also participate in classroom discussions and provide information regarding current aviation industry hiring needs and practices. The board is made up of a variety of aviation careers, airport managers, airline pilots, military pilots, and BGSU academic professors. This resource is very valuable to our BGSU students. We are so privileged to have this dedicated board of aviation professionals and we appreciate their time and energy they freely give to make BGSU Aviation the best it can be.
