Texas A&M Women In Aviation

About This Organization

Abbreviation(s):
TAMU WAI
Purpose:
Our organization (Texas A&M Women In Aviation) is a 3rd party affiliate of the Women In Aviation International organization. The International organization's mission is to connect, engage, and inspire women to be the best they can be in life and aviation/STEM careers. Similarly, our chapter's mission seeks to inform, empower, and equip women with the knowledge and tools to be successful in any industry, especially that of aviation. As an organization, we connect our members with other flying organizations such as Civil Air Patrol, the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association (AOPA), etc. We also share ways our members can start their pilot journey through ground school and flight school resources. Our members have the opportunity to network with pilots and people interested in flying all across campus and College Station.
We meet at least twice a month where we discuss different aspects of aviation, go on field trips to flight schools/flight museums, listen to guest speakers, and have fun group socials.
Ultimately, we are a group that is passionate about aviation and wants others to experience the thrill and community that flying brings.
