\u201cI am honored and humbled to celebrate Vaughn College\nbecause I believe in what Vaughn does, what it stands for and what it\nproduces,\u201d Calio said. \u201cYou are training future pilots, mechanics and air\ntraffic controllers, who will help keep the U.S. aviation safety record the\ngold standard in the world.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a first-generation college graduate, Calio addressed the\nopportunities higher education provides and the importance of Vaughn\u2019s\nworkforce pipeline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, more than 90% of Americans have flown commercially in\ntheir lifetime \u2013 a percentage that continues to grow amid unprecedented\naccessibility and affordability.
