"Doctor" Paul Poberezny Honored By UW-Oshkosh

Donning traditional cap and gown, EAA Founder and Chairman Paul H. Poberezny received an honorary doctorate from the University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh during the school's spring commencement ceremonies last weekend. The honor, made in recognition of Paul's contributions to aviation, Wisconsin, and the Oshkosh area, is the third received by the EAA founder. (Others include from Milwaukee School of Engineering (1989) and St. Louis University (1991.)
 
"It was a wonderful experience, especially watching 400 smiling young people walk across the stage in front of me," said the EAA founder. "It was a very emotional experience, with 6,000 people in the audience. Graduation is an adventure being repeated every year throughout our fine country."
Richard Wells, UW-Oshkosh chancellor, commented, "We can all learn from Paul's example about the importance of volunteerism and giving back to your community. UW-Oshkosh and the greater Oshkosh area have benefited in countless ways from the efforts of this dedicated leader."

Paul Poberezny is one of the most decorated men in aviation, as his flying experience has spanned more than 60 years and in excess of 400 types of aircraft. In recent years, he has received such prestigious honors as the Wright Memorial Trophy and been inducted into the National Aviation Hall of Fame. Those honors put him in the company of other legendary aviators such as Neil Armstrong, Jimmy Doolittle, and John Glenn.
