BOSTON, Sept. 29, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Made
possible by a group of National Aviation Academy (NAA) students and
staff that share a passion and commitment to aviation, the
institute establishes the newest chapter of Alpha Eta Rho
International Fraternity (AHP), a professional, collegiate
fraternity, founded to bring together students pursuing careers in
aviation.
Membership begins in a college or university where students are
introduced to essential chapter functions, local aviation events,
and professional development opportunities. As students progress,
they become thoroughly involved in chapter operations with options
to pursue large scale co-op events to increase aviation awareness
and access. Students with exceptional abilities are then encouraged
to run for national officer positions to enhance others' membership
experience further. Alumni members hold the key to fostering
students through a successful college career and into the global
workforce. Additionally, membership provides a method to stay in
touch with individuals across the industry.
A great deal of time and effort was spent adapting what was
originally designed for traditional two and four-year colleges to
fit NAA's unique program length and design.
The bylaws outlined in the member requirements will hold
students to higher standards of academic performance and
attendance, among other requirements. Additionally, NAA students
and alumni will have access to over 60,000 current aviation
industry leaders, mentors, and 35,000 active alumni, connecting
students to the highest levels of integrity and professionalism.
Cultivating a fraternal bond with AHP will enhance the student
experience while at NAA and also continue to serve alumni as they
continue to grow and develop their aviation careers for years to
come.
The event was attended virtually by the National President
Scott Vlasek and National Executive
Director Julie Jones and led by NAA
Student Services Manager and Alpha Eta Rho Alumni Garrett G.
Connolly.
The ceremony began with a recitation of the ritual and
distribution of the AHP badge, challenge coins, and certificates,
making the 32 charter members official brothers and sisters of
Alpha Eta Rho. Next, the chapter's positions were installed and are
held by President Jonathan Velez,
Vice President Brian Martell,
Treasurer Honor Mathis, and Secretary Gustavo Suero.
NAA's AHP chapter will use meeting times to conduct study
sessions for all NAA students and organize activities to promote
community and camaraderie.
