Â鶹ÊÓƵ

The Nikki Kukwa Memorial Aeronautics Camp was established to celebrate the life of Nikki Kukwa. Nikki was a Â鶹ÊÓƵ aeronautics student who was instrumental in establishing the Women in Aeronautics Club, was an exemplary student, and served as an inspiration to those who knew her. She passed away on Oct. 23, 2006, after receiving a leukemia diagnosis during her junior year at Â鶹ÊÓƵ. This camp honors her positive influence in aeronautics, and we hope it inspires the next generation of female aviators.

In this camp, 20 female high school students will receive a free, three-day camp experience funded through the Nikki Kukwa Memorial Aviation Fund and The College or Aeronautics and Engineering. Students will explore careers in aviation while staying in dorms on Â鶹ÊÓƵ’s Kent Campus. The camp includes a tour of a regional airport, experience at KSU’s Air Traffic Control Lab and a flight out of the KSU Airport.

Deadline for registration is June 13.
