Aviation students tour Republic Airways facilities
Another great example of the polytechnic difference! Thanks to aviation maintenance professors Drew Smith and Stephen Ley for taking several aviation students to Kansas City to explore Republic Airways' hangar. They also met with pilots and maintenance and corporate staff to learn about careers in the aviation industry. 

A high-five is one of the most recognizable ways two people can share excitement or celebrate a job well done. K-State Salina's CEO and Dean Verna Fitzsimmons awards her high-five each week to honor faculty, staff and students for their dedication to the university.
