Dr. Angie Griffin, Assistant Professor of Aviation Science at Texas A&M University-Central Texas, will headline the university’s Faculty Spotlight Series with a presentation on Wednesday, Feb. 5. This free, public event will take place in Bernie Beck Lecture Hall at Founders Hall from 4:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. Complimentary refreshments will be available.
Dr. Griffin’s presentation, “Resilience and High-Performing Female Aviators,” delves into the journeys of women aviators, highlighting their perseverance, achievements, and rise in a traditionally male-dominated field. A lifelong educator who served as a teacher, principal, and superintendent, her fascination with helicopters led her to pursue aviation certifications, later founding Dragonfly Copters, a company renowned for high-profile missions with clients such as Sports Illustrated and The Walking Dead, and serving on the board of FlyQuest, a nonprofit organization introducing aviation careers to underserved students.
The Faculty Spotlight Series celebrates the work of Texas A&M University-Central Texas faculty, offering the community a platform to engage with innovative research and thought leadership across a variety of disciplines.
