Piper Aircraft has announced the addition of two new brand\nambassadors to the Piper Brand Ambassador Program. These students are both\npursuing professional flight degrees and certifications at Middle Georgia State\nUniversity (MGSU), a Piper Flight School Alliance member and longtime fleet\ncustomer of Piper Aircraft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Piper Brand Ambassadors are students at select Piper Flight\nSchool Alliance fleet partner schools that post on social media in support of\nthe Piper brand. Ambassadors showcase aviation and lifestyle content to their\nfollowers and share the life of a student flight training in the Piper product\nlineup. The ambassador program originated at the University of North Dakota\n(UND) with four ambassadors in 2020 and has since expanded to include five\nflight school partners. Currently, the program exists at UND, Minnesota State\nUniversity at Mankato, the L3Harris Flight Academy, and Purdue University.\nMiddle Georgia State University is the fifth addition to the program, and the\nsecond school in the southern United States to receive ambassadors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00ef\u00bb\u00bfAmbassador candidates apply for the program via an online\napplication, in-depth social media review, and interview. After reviewing\nnumerous qualified applicants, Piper and Middle Georgia State University have\nselected Jake Dever and Francisca Pollarolo as MGSU\u2019s first brand ambassadors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Jake Dever is a junior at Middle Georgia State University\nstudying Aviation Science and Management with a focus on flight. He\u2019s an\ninstrument-rated private pilot with a little over 350 hours currently pursuing\nhis commercial certificate. In addition to being a student at Middle Georgia,\nJake owns a Piper Cherokee himself, which he enjoys flying all over the\ncountry. When asked what he looked forward to the most about joining the Piper\nBrand Ambassador program, he said \u201cI look forward to not only represent[ing]\nMiddle Georgia State, but also the Piper brand as a whole, and I can\u2019t wait for\nthe adventures this opportunity takes me on!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
