THE Aviation Institute is suspending operations as of
July 1, 2008.
I am leaving the George Washington
University to take a position at
Dubai Aerospace Enterprise
University. as
Associate Provost for Graduate Studies and Research.
It has been a great run at the Institute with great
colleagues and students who worked together on the
International Aviation Safety and Security Summit
Program, the Aviation Safety and Security Certificate
Program, multitudes of research projects and IATA
partnership. I surely will miss that.

THE GW AVIATION INSTITUTE
The Institute strives to provide a bridge between
industry, government, and academia to address those
issues effecting the future of aviation. We accomplish
this through:
-
Programs aimed at training
aviation professionals
-
Seminars devoted to the discussion
of aviation issues
-
Research targeted at advancing
aviation benefits to consumers
The GWU Aviation Institute is
the first attempt by a major university in the United
States to combine the efforts of federal, state, and
local government within industry and academia to promote
a comprehensive approach to safety and security issues
facing the aviation industry in the new millennium.
Since 1998, the Institute has established
programs in
research and education in Aviation Safety and
Security as a primary response to the President's
Commission on Aviation Safety and Security in the 21st
Century.
The Institute has successfully led
the International Aviation Safety and Security Summit
Program (2001 - 2005), been a member of the FAA Center
of Excellence on Airworthiness Assurance (AACE - 2004
- 2007) and has conducted the Aviation Safety and
Security Certificate Program for nearly 10 years.
The Institute has performed a
number of research projects funded by the FAA,
National Academies, Industry, USTDA and has had over
30 graduates from its Certificate Program.
The certificate program is offered
bi-annually, in the Fall and Spring, and may be completed
within a two-week period, although up to three months
is afforded for those requiring additional time to
complete a Case Study. Graduates of the program have
the ability to apply a rich skill-set and reasoned
approach to managing today's complex and ever-changing
aviation environment.
PARTNERSHIP WITH IATA

Safety and Security Certificate Program,
