A RESOLUTION
Commending the Middle Georgia State University School of Aviation for its excellence in

WHEREAS, the Middle Georgia State University School of Aviation stands as Georgia’s
flagship aviation school, offering the state's only four-year flight and airport management
degree programs and serving as a critical pipeline for the aerospace industry; and

of growth; and
WHEREAS, the school continues to solidify its status as a premier aviation training center,
boasting a fleet of over 50 state-of-the-art aircraft and earning distinction as the first program
in Georgia to be recognized by the Federal Aviation Administration as an Enhanced Air
Traffic-Collegiate Training Initiative (AT-CTI) school; and
WHEREAS, the School of Aviation has forged powerful industry partnerships to ensure
student success, most notably through its enduring collaboration with Delta Air Lines via the
Propel Pilot Career Path and Delta TechOps, which provide students with defined pathways
to careers with one of the world’s leading airlines; and
WHEREAS, in June 2025, the university further strengthened its community ties by
launching a new partnership with the Museum of Aviation Foundation to enhance
educational outreach and innovation, ensuring the legacy of aviation in Warner Robins
continues to inspire future generations; and
WHEREAS, the efficacy of its workforce training is evidenced by the Aircraft Structural
Technology program, which celebrated a 100 percent employment rate for its Spring 2024
graduates at the Warner Robins Air Logistics Complex, directly supporting our nation's
defense capabilities; and
WHEREAS, the school’s commitment to academic excellence was highlighted at the 2025
Honors Convocation, where students such as Logan Brown and Ryan Lusco were recognized
for their outstanding achievements in Aviation Science and Management, setting a high
standard for their peers; and
WHEREAS, under the guidance of its dedicated faculty and leadership, the School of
Aviation recently secured a significant National Science Foundation grant to align classroom
learning with professional workforce needs, ensuring that graduates are equipped with
cutting-edge skills for the modern aviation landscape.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES that
