SIU teamed up with United Airlines for the 23rd annual aviation career day on Saturday April 22, 2017 in Carbondale, IL. United flew more than a hundred high school students from Chicago O’Hare International Airport to the Southern Illinois Airport.

The students flew on an United A320 Airbus by a crew of SIU alumni. During flight they were able to mingle with pilots, flight attendants, mechanics, and other United Airlines employees.

Once in Carbondale, the students enjoyed a tour of the SIU campus, attended various workshops, had a Q&A session with United employees, and a simulator ride. This event has proven to be a great educational tool as well as an opportunity to give back to the community.
