Aviation alums return to campus to teach class
The polytechnic campus recently welcomed back alumni Tom Karcz and Ryan Shamberger to fill in as teachers for one of professor Jimmy Splichal's classes.
The former aviation students taught Splichal's Air Carrier Operations class. Tom (right) is a 2001 graduate and former faculty member of Kansas State Polytechnic. He now works as a pilot for Textron Aviation. Ryan (left) is a 2000 graduate and now flies as a pilot for Southwest Airlines. We appreciate them taking time out of their personal schedules to connect with current students and pass along their aviation wisdom.
