Prior to joining Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, I worked at a large public university. It was common for the university's professional programs such as law, medicine, pharmacy and dentistry to proudly display a chronological history of their graduating class photographs. For the faculty and alumni, the photos marked a time in history when their paths crossed. To me, they were a stark, visual illustration of how professions that were once exclusively male have, over the past few decades, made tremendous strides toward equal representation.The same cannot be said when it comes to aviation, despite the reality that this is an industry with unprecedented opportunity and no shortage of available jobs at every level. We need to ask ourselves why things have changed so momentously in other professions and how our industry can benefit from history's lessons.
