Giving Back

Whether you are an alumnus of the Department of Aviation or the Center for Aviation Studies, one thing unites us all; we are all Buckeyes who love airplanes!

The students going through the program today are just like you when you went through the program. They're excited about joining the industry and taking advantage of all the opportunities that it offers. They are also aware of the challenges that come along with a career in this industry, but their passion for aviation won't let them be detoured. Just as you were not detoured when you were in their shoes!  

Please consider giving back to the program that helped get you to where you are today.

Non-monetary donations

Giving back does not have to involve donating money to support a scholarship or award. It could be as simple as being willing to have a conversation with a student who is interested in your particular field. Or, you could volunteer your time and expertise to guest lecturer for a class.  

We are constantly looking for new connections so that our students can become exposed to the "real" industry and receive career coaching. If you would be willing to do any of these things, or if you have your own idea on how to grow and improve our program, please email Brian Strzempkowski at strzempkowski.1@osu.edu.
