Priester Aviation Partners with Embry-Riddle to Attract Diverse Talent to the Aviation Industry

Priester Aviation has collaborated with the David B. O’Maley College of Business at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in supporting Project Liftoff to build a more diverse and inclusive aviation talent pool. In addition to a financial contribution of $50,000 in scholarships over the next five years, Priester Aviation is providing support through direct involvement. Andy Priester will serve as a mentor and guest speaker in the O’Maley College of Business.  

The first Project Liftoff student, Jerry Bracey II, joins Embry-Riddle this fall through Project Liftoff sponsorship. He will study the Business of Flight in the College of Business. The Indiana native will also become an Embry-Riddle Eagle, joining the men’s 2021-2022 basketball program. Bracey was named the Northern Indiana Conference MVP.
