Message to Embry-Riddle Alumni: Come Home for 75th Anniversary Celebration
 Daytona
Beach, Fla., April 5, 2001 -- Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University
is inviting its alumni to contact the university to make sure they
receive invitations to the university's 75th anniversary celebration.
A variety of events are planned, including a free air show, Wings
and Waves: Celebrating Embry-Riddle's 75th Anniversary. The
show will take place Nov. 10-11, 2001, in Daytona Beach, Fla., and
will star the USAF Thunderbirds. Special travel packages are available
to alumni.
Embry-Riddle is extending a special invitation to the many pilots and technicians it trained during World War II for the US Army Air Corps and Britain's Royal Air Force.
The university sees the celebration as an opportunity to locate many of its "missing" alumni and welcome them into the Embry-Riddle Alumni Association. Association members receive an alumni magazine and newsletter, discounted club memberships and other services, and invitations to receptions, homecomings, a career expo, and air shows. Other benefits include scholarships for children of alumni, an international travel program, networking, and mentoring opportunities.
