WMU is making dreams come true💛

"His last name may suggest otherwise, but 13-year-old Vail Fear showed no signs of trepidation as he maneuvered the 737 MAX into a barrel roll on his approach to Chicago O’Hare International Airport. It was only a simulator, but from his slack-jawed expression of awe as he peered over the dash, it was clear Vail’s visit to Western Michigan University’s College of Aviation left an impression."

"'Western has meant everything to me,” [Evan Simpson, WMU Aviation student] said. “When I came to Western, I was worried I wasn’t going to make friends, but I found a community in aviation and a community at Western—and Vail is definitely in that family now, too. Anybody who shares the joy of aviation and love of aviation is in the family, and he clearly has that spark. It’s fun to see the smile on his face and that spark growing into a fire. And hopefully, one day, he’ll get to come to Western and go through the same program I did and have the same joy of college that I did.'”
