Soar into an aviation career

By Janice Wood · October 27, 2011 ·

An exploration of career possibilities available in aviation will take place during the annual Aviation Career Conference, held from 10 a.m.-1 p.m. on Saturday, Nov.  5 at Lewis University’s main campus in Romeoville, Ill.. This conference is designed for anyone interested in a career in aviation.

Conference attendees will have the opportunity to witness an American Eagle ERJ-145 land at the university and talk with the crew immediately. American Eagle Captain Javier Medina will lead the crew as he did at the spring Women and Minorities in Aviation Career Conference.

Lewis University, American Airlines, Delta Airlines, United Airlines, American Eagle Airline, Boeing International, Chicago Dept. of Aviation, Federal Aviation Administration, Chicago Air Traffic Control, Federal Express Airlines and Southwest Airlines are hosting this opportunity to learn first hand from “real world” aviation professionals. To register for the conference, visit Lewisu.edu and complete the online registration form by Nov. 3.

Lewis is one of 31 institutions in the country certified by the FAA to offer the Air Traffic Collegiate Training Initiative Program. For additional information, please contact Frank DuBois at 815-836-5936.
