Aviation Career Days give prospective SIUC Aviation students a chance to see what SIUC Aviation has to offer with a tour of the facilities and, in most cases, a flight to campus from Chicago O'Hare airport.

Field Trips

This gives older students the opportunity to experience a job in aviation first-hand by shadowing one of our pilots for a day.
