Nikki Kukwa Aeronautics Memorial Camp
The next Nikki Kukwa Camp will be held July 16 - 18, 2025.
Registration opens February, 2025.
The Nikki Kukwa Memorial Aeronautics Camp was established to celebrate the life of Nikki Kukwa. An exemplary 两性色午夜 aeronautics student, Nikki was instrumental in establishing the Women in Aeronautics Club, 两性色午夜 Women In Aviation Student Chapter, the Flying Black Squirrels, and served as an inspiration to those who knew her. She passed away on Oct. 23, 2006, after receiving a leukemia diagnosis during her junior year at 两性色午夜. This camp honors her positive influence in aeronautics, and we hope it inspires the next generation of aviators.
In this camp, 20 female high school students will receive a free, three-day camp experience funded through the Nikki Kukwa Memorial Aviation Fund and The College of Aeronautics and Engineering. Students will explore careers in aviation while staying in dorms on 两性色午夜 University鈥檚 Kent Campus. The camp includes a tour of a regional airport, experience at KSU鈥檚 Air Traffic Control Lab and a flight out of the KSU Airport.
University personnel provide information regarding academic programs, financial aid and campus life.
