Michigan Expo to Provide Opportunities, Scholarship for WACS supporters
The Women’s Aviation Career Symposium (WACS) is on deck for the 5th year running, taking place next year on March 18, 2023.
WACS is a "professional career conference for women only, from high school juniors to retirees", taking place at Western Michigan University’s College of Aviation. The symposium is aimed at introducing women into the aeronautical tradition, build personal networks, learn and attain scholarship opportunities for women of all stripes.
WACS aims to provide all-inclusive scaffolding for the female aviator, to uplift their efforts in aviation, and to promote networking, education, and scholarships. The symposium will be home to multiple scholarship opportunities, allowing students a leg up in aviation careers in education, professional development, flight, and maintenance training. Each year, the group tries to meet a goal of $40,000 in scholarship funds to disburse - last year was their closest yet, with $32,000 awarded to 16 women. With plenty of networking opportunities, organizations, companies, and professionals present, attendees are sure to find something useful to take their career to the next level.
“This event is a nexus of education and networking for women interested in aviation. Our attendees will be able to meet dedicated professionals who want nothing more than to elevate the next generation of women in aerospace and take the industry to new heights,” said Helen Hagg, co-founder of WACS. “Whether through scholarships or career advice, we are here to be a resource to women who will be the future of our industry.”
