K-State Polytechnic AAAE student chapter visits Kansas City International Airport
 Students in the American Association of Airport Executives, or AAAE,
student chapter on the Polytechnic Campus got the opportunity to visit the Kansas City International Airport on Feb. 2.
During their tour, K-State Polytechnic AAAE members explored the air traffic control tower and while there,
engaged in a full air traffic control debriefing. They were given a behind-the-scenes look at the maintenance equipment storage facility, the aircraft
rescue and
firefighting, or ARFF, station, and the airplane graveyard. The students also connected with a K-State Polytechnic airport management graduate who now works for KCI.
AAAE student chapters across the country encourage member participation in many events, including volunteer opportunities, fundraisers, conferences and airport tours. The organization
helps students understand a professional insight of airport management, which embodies technical ability, responsibility, and purpose.

Thank you to Dr. Siny Joseph for representing K-State Polytechnic on the radio!
Dr. Siny Joseph put her economics expertise on display outside of the campus last week when she appeared on "Friendly Fire," a radio show on local station KSAL. Dr. Joseph discussed with the hosts current issues, such as the new tax bill, trade policy, trickle down economics and impact of wage distribution while taking questions from listeners calling into the program. I want to thank Dr. Joseph for making the time to share her knowledge and insight with our community and for representing K-State Polytechnic in such a positive light. Great job!
