Congratulations on the completion of your degree program at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University. You and your family can be justifiably proud of your accomplishments.
I invite you, your family and friends to celebrate your achievement at the spring 2009 University Commencement Ceremony to be held on Saturday, May 2nd, 2009 starting promptly at 10:00 AM on the Athletic Field.
Commencement is a special celebration with much tradition and symbolism reflective of the history of higher education. This is the occasion that your degree will be officially conferred upon you. In addition to the faculty and staff from our Prescott Campus, graduates and members of our Worldwide Campus community participate in this University Commencement. Please plan to join the entire Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University community in celebration on this extraordinary day.
We are pleased to have as our commencement speaker, Mr. John Wing, founder and Chairman of Wing Aviation. Since the 1980’s, Mr. Wing has been recognized as a world leader in the creation of the independent power industry. He founded and led the Wing Group, the developer of multi-billion dollar power projects world- wide. Mr. Wing holds a BS degree from the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, and an MBA from Harvard University where he graduated with high distinction and was designated a Baker Scholar. He has also served as an Army pilot and is a Vietnam veteran.
Graduation from Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University is a mark of distinction and a lifetime defining event. The entire campus community celebrates your achievements and I look forward to congratulating you personally and meeting your family and friends.
