“The Tennessee Aerospace Professionals Society is driven by pillars of education, camaraderie and outreach,” Adams said. “I hope that participating in the Aerospace Club Fair will provide an opportunity for students to learn more about the extracurricular opportunities in the Aerospace Department.

“I also look forward to continuing to develop the relationships between the officer teams. I want to thank the officer teams for their participation and teamwork in starting this event. The Aerospace Club Fair will be a great success.”

Considered one of MTSU’s signature programs, aerospace’s featured programs include professional pilot, aviation management, flight dispatch, maintenance management, technology and unmanned aircraft systems, or UAS.
