Our graduation ceremony was a great success last week! The AIM Indianapolis Fall 2008 Graduating Class was sent off in style by the staff, faculty, family and friends in attendance for the ceremonies.

Everyone was beaming with pride and a sense of accomplishment was in the air as our graduates walked across stage to receive their diplomas from the School Director, Eric Cook. And, we all had a chance to hear some wonderful words of encouragement and gratitude from our Student Speakers - Jason Moon and Tom Lumpkin.

On top of all that, two of our graduates had the opportunity for further blushing of cheeks when they were called back on stage to be recognized as with individual awards.

AIM Indianapolis awarded Jeremiah Cluxton and David McMillian as Outstanding Graduates in recognition of their continued commitment to academic excellence throughout their careers at AIM.

We hope you enjoy the online photo albums of our ceremonies last Friday! Please view them here:

Jason Jackson took his class out again today for more engine test runs.  Today they were  running a Pratt & Whitney PT-6 TurboProp engine.  Take a look at the videos below!

Jason Jackson (Instructor) took his class out today for some Jet Fuel Fun!  All the students in Jason’s class are still in their initial stages of coursework.  The experience today was a quick introduction to the procedures followed when running turbine engines for testing and troubleshooting.

Please take a look at some of the pictures we snapped (click on the photo below to access the entire online photo album).  And, be sure to take a peek at the video as well!

The AIM Indianapolis Campus was excited to celebrate our second annual Student Appreciation Day & Laugh Olympics this week.

Our students, staff and faculty enjoyed an afternoon together in the summer sun. Among all the games, contests and awarded prizes the most popular event was the hotdog cookout and picnic style lunch. The day was sponsored by dozens of local and national companies. Combining our efforts and their contributions, AIM was able to give away more than 60 different “door prizes” and contest awards. Overall, the day was a huge success!

Throughout the day we took hundreds of pictures and several short video segments.  Click on the photos below to open up the online album of photos.  And, check out our YouTube channel for all of the videos (to be posted soon)!

Today was the beginning of a very busy week at AIM Indy.  Of course, everyone knows about the upcoming Student Appreciation Day & Laugh Olympics on Thursday.  And, most know of the recruiting visit on Wednesday from Midcoast Aviation / Savannah Air.  And today was filled with activity with our semi-annual blood donation drive.

The AIM Indy campus was proud, if not a little woozy, for hosting a blood donation drive today in support of the Indiana Blood Center.

Our students, staff & faculty were overflowing with generosity today, and the technicians from IBC gladly took advantage of more than TWENTY donations!

On behalf of all the people who will benefit from those donations …

THANK YOU, AIM!!

Now, here is the really fun part … our regular photographer wasn’t able to find time in the schedule for taking any pictures.  So, we handed the camera to our wonderful receptionist, Brandy Wilson.  She was, let’s say … “creative” with her pictures of the blood mobile bus.  Here are a couple of them (that were in focus):

Shannon’s new modeling career …

and, Brandy Wilson - our new Daredevil Receptionist!!

Today everyone at AIM Indy is very excited to welcome Stacie Bruton back to our campus!

Stacie returns to us from several weeks of maternity leave after the recent birth of her new son, Jacob. No doubt she has enjoyed all the time with her family and friends over these last few weeks. And, although loaded (no pun intended) with dirty diapers and sleepless nights, the time spent with her new son surely has been irreplaceable.

But, now it’s our turn! It has been weeks since our hallways sparkled with her laughter and our office beamed with her smile. We are ready for a big dose of “Stacie Bacie” around here!

Please join us in welcoming Stacie back to the office, the team, and the campus at large. We have missed her for far too long & we’re all very glad to have her back!!

Stacie, we all know how much you love this picture. So, we just HAD to put it on the blog!!

Welcome back, Stacie!!!
