Brent Knoblauch Is Founding VP Of School Aeronautical Honor
Society
The
General Aviation Manufacturers Association (GAMA) announced
Wednesday Brent E. Knoblauch has been named this year's Dr. Harold
S. Wood Scholarship recipient. Knoblauch will be a junior this fall
at Jacksonville University in Jacksonville, FL.
Brent is currently the vice president of his flight team, and is
the founding vice president of the university’s Alpha Omicron
Alpha aeronautical honor society -- only the third chapter of its
kind nationwide. He serves as the lead director of Aviation
Ambassadors, a group that promotes and fosters enrollment into the
university’s aviation program and has also donated
considerable time to a local middle school teaching students the
basics of flight.
Outside of aviation, Brent serves on campus as a freshman
resident peer mentor, and is also the incoming residence hall
association president. He is carrying an impressive 3.9 grade point
average and is a commercial pilot. After completing his degree,
Brent plans to fly for the airlines and someday own his own
sightseeing business.
The award is named in honor of Dr. Harold S. Wood, founder and
past executive director of the National Intercollegiate Flying
Association (NIFA). Given annually, the honor recognizes a top
student enrolled in a NIFA member school that demonstrates academic
excellence, promotes aviation on and off campus, and is an active
participant in activities and community service outside of
aviation.
GAMA is an international trade association headquartered in
Washington, DC representing over 50 manufacturers of general
aviation aircraft, engines, avionics and related equipment.
