YAC Academia and Industry Tour Proves Successful

The chapter recently hosted the "Young AFCEAN Academia and Industry Tour" in November at Robins Air Force Base, Georgia. It was a great success with a turnout that included students, local academia and industry professionals. Attendees obtained information about base technical activities, spoke with engineering and information technology professionals and engaged in discussions of future career opportunities. The event included a tour of the Air Logistics Complex, 402 Commodities Maintenance and Software Maintenance Groups. A social was held to conclude the event with representatives from the 78th Communications Directorate, Special Missions Division, and the Air Force Life Cycle Management/Engineering group. Academia attendees included Middle Georgia State University's Johnathan Yerby, dean of the IT Department, and Kem Lingelbach, assistant professor, IT Department. The chapter looks forward to promoting the tour to Young AFCEANs as a recurring annual event.
