(UND Today) – The University of North Dakota’s John D. Odegard School of Aerospace Sciences has reached a historic milestone with the graduation of Anthony “A.J.” Lake, UND’s first-ever graduate of the Enhanced Air Traffic–Collegiate Training Initiative (AT-CTI) program.
Lake was awarded his bachelor’s degree in Air Traffic Management at UND’s Winter Commencement ceremony on Dec. 19. But at the same time, Lake also graduated from the Federal Aviation Administration’s Enhanced AT-CTI pathway, and his achievement places UND among the earliest institutions in the country to successfully graduate a student from the FAA-approved enhanced pathway.
Robert Kraus, speaking at Winter Commencement reception in the Aerospace school’s Robin Hall, took the time to congratulate all UND Aerospace graduates, including the University’s first Enhanced AT-CTI grad.
“First, I want to say congratulations to all of our students who are graduating today in a couple of hours, and thank you for coming out to this reception where we can get to share a few more minutes with you,” Kraus said.
