A Message From President P. Barry Butler On behalf of the staff and faculty, welcome back to Embry-Riddle. Over the holidays, I hope you were able to rest, relax, and reconnect with the people most important to you. We are eager to reconnect with you. You are the reason we show up to work. You are the people who turn our campus into a community. And you are the people we entrust with the future. In these extraordinary times, our connection has consequences. To preserve our safety and the spirit of caring that defines Eagles, we must continue to manage our response to Covid-19 responsibly. After nearly a year, this effort can be fatiguing. It is tempting to ease up in our compliance with safeguards. That is understandable. It just isn’t acceptable because each of us is too valuable to put at risk. Accountability runs in both directions. As students, you accept the obligation to follow our Covid-19 practices and abide by university policies. The university is also accountable to you. We have been vigilant about identifying and implementing best practices based on expertise shared by public health officials and other institutions.
As you would expect from a university with such a wealth of aviation and engineering talent, we have been rigorous about prioritizing safety issues and continuing to fine-tune our monitoring, testing, and health services. We have also been as proactive as possible in minimizing exposure, from rescheduling classes to prevent congestion to allowing non-student-facing staff to work remotely to minimize the number of people on campus. We are transparent in sharing our results. Every week, we post a report that includes the number of people tested, the number of positive tests, and the number of active cases on each campus. We would not welcome you back to this campus unless we were confident in our success in mitigating risks to the greatest extent possible. We would not be confident without our encouraging results or without your help in taking personal responsibility for upholding safety protocols. Embry-Riddle maintained low infection rates during the fall semester. Between June 22 and November 19, we conducted more than 9,000 Covid-19 tests, with just 253 confirmed cases.
This outcome shows us that mutual accountability works – if we work at it. Please wear your mask. Maintain physical distancing. Wash your hands thoroughly and frequently. If you encounter any obstacles in protecting yourself or others from infection, reach out to residence hall advisors or Health Services. We will find solutions together. I know this situation raises feelings of sadness, anxiety, frustration, and even resentment that you may be forced to make sacrifices even though you have done everything right. We share a weariness and a longing to get back to normal. I think the keyword here is “share.” You are not in this alone. Keeping a safe distance does not mean isolating yourself. Please stay supportive of each other. Please seek out help and encouragement when you need it, whether that is virtual tutoring, counseling, or spiritual and wellness programs we offer. Stay strong, mentally and emotionally, as well as physically. I am proud of how we have fought Covid-19 together. It’s not over – but it will be. Have a safe and successful spring semester.
A Message From SGA President Jim Myers Welcome back! I hope you enjoyed the much-needed time off. I think we can all agree that we wish COVID-19 would have just disappeared after midnight on Dec 31st, but unfortunately, that is not the case. At the beginning of the fall semester, there was great uncertainty about if we would make it through the whole semester in-person… but we did! It was no easy feat, but our collective determination to succeed had paid off. We can give credit to all the
safety protocols, but it was up to each of us to follow them. There hasn’t been enough acknowledgment given to the individuals involved, especially the student body. Students make up about 85% of the campus population, so you can truly say that students are the biggest reason for having a successful semester. Adapting to COVID-19 has been a challenge for everyone, but our continued comradery will help us power through the semester together. Do not hesitate to use the
campus resources available to you, such as the Counseling Center, Health Services, and especially the Student Government Association (SGA). Share your concerns with us, whether it be an issue with a class or an idea to improve the campus. Our duty is to represent student interests and to maintain the wellbeing of the student body. Visit us on the second floor of the Student Union to learn about some of the projects we are working on or just to say hello.
Hunter Lyons
Advice for Freshman: The Freshman Perspective I am a second-semester freshman majoring in Aeronautical Science. My end goal is to be a Delta Captain based in Los Angeles. To me, Embry-Riddle Represents so much more than a university. It represents a group of highly determined individuals who will be some of the best pilots, engineers, and mechanics to grace the aviation industry. Moving to Daytona Beach from Cleveland was a good experience. I wasn’t sure how I would handle being on my own, but I quickly found that I was much happier
here than I was in Ohio. I have a loving family that I miss tremendously, but I know this is where I need to be. I would tell any incoming freshman that it is important to envision where you want to be after college. Envision yourself working your dream job, your future family, your future spouse, and use these things as motivation. When you are close to giving up or feel that there’s no use in giving 110%, think about the future you want for yourself and understand that this is a necessary bridge you need to cross in order to get there.
Your freshman year is a time to explore and find what you are passionate about. It is a time to join new clubs and make new friends. The sheer amount of diversity within this campus makes it a truly special and unique place to study. One of my best friends is from Philly, while another is from France. Don’t let the uncertainty of a new experience ruin the excitement of entering a new chapter in your life. My advice to you would be: embrace the unknown and learn from your experiences.
Andrea Gamble I am majoring in Air Traffic Management and minoring in Marketing, Entrepreneurship, and Communications & Broadcast Media. Though the first semester was not ideal for any of us due to COVID, Embry-Riddle still strived for, and gave, a much needed welcoming college experience. In my first semester, I maintained a 4.0 GPA and joined clubs such as The Avion and Embry-Riddle Gymnastics Team. My advice to you, as an incoming freshman, is
to involve yourself in as many school-related clubs and activities as you can. Many freshmen may encounter feeling homesick during their first year of college. If you do, you are not alone, so do not get discouraged. Being surrounded by like-minded fellows within clubs and activities can help minimize the discomfort level; this is especially important during the process of learning/exploring your new campus. Interacting with your school commu-
nity can also lead you to opportunities that you may not have known existed. If you are unsure about what clubs or groups to join, you can find many on the Campus Groups app. Be sure to take advantage of every opportunity given to you because it may be hard to find the same opportunity again. As one of the easiest ways to be social and school-oriented, trust me, it is so much better than partying!
Advice for Freshman: The Sopohmore Perspective If I had to give one major piece of advice to a first-year student, I would say learn how to become more self-aware. If you ever find yourself consistently unhappy and stressed out, please pause to think about what you’re feeling and why you’re feeling that way. Maybe you need to enroll in fewer classes, maybe you need to spend less time socializing and more time studying,
maybe you need to find a different study tactic, maybe you need to call your family, maybe you need to switch your major, or maybe you even need to switch schools! Whatever the case may be, your mental health is golden, and you must eliminate whatever is stifling you. I wish you all luck!
Gianna Castano
I am an honors student majoring in Human Factors Psychology with a minor in Systems Engineering. I was born and raised in Staten Island, New York. I currently work at the Center for Faith and Spirituality on campus as a Fellow. I am also a Staff Photographer at The Avion, a member of the design and logistics team on Project Thetis and I belong to the Psi Chi Honor Society in Psychology.
Salim Roig I am a second-year, Aeronautical Engineering student. I moved here from my hometown of Miami, Florida. At first, it was scary and confusing, but I was able to adapt to my new surroundings over time. One year later, I became the Development Officer of Silver Wings, a Student Advocate of the SGA Student Court, and Business Manager of The Avion. Now that you know a little bit about me, I wish to depart some wisdom to help teach you how to survive the strange, confusing, and exciting world of college. This is Salim’s Declassified College Survival
Guide (Results may vary). Tip #1: Before you start that crazy college party you’re dreaming of, it’s important to introduce some order into your life. One day you may get homework for each of your classes; another day, you may have nothing to do. To combat this, I recommend keeping two different lists of activities; one for everything due this week and one for any big assignments due at least two weeks from now. This will help you keep track of what you should start on now, so later you will have less work to do. Tip #2: College is a place where you will face what
seems like a constant barrage of tests. So, you may end up believing that all your free time should be spent studying. While studying should always be your top priority, I still recommend you take at least one hour to enjoy life. At first, it may seem dumb to waste your time not studying, but by reducing your daily anxiety, your body will feel more relaxed, allowing you to study for a longer period of time. I hope y’all enjoyed the wisdom, and may college be the best four years of your life!
Samir Khairi
Advice for Freshman: The Junior Perspective Originally from Jordan, I have lived my entire life in Dubai, United Arab Emirates; therefore, I consider it my hometown. I am a junior majoring in Aeronautical Science and minoring in Business Administration. I am part of the Orientation Team, the PEER Mentor Program, and the Webmaster for The Avion. Being part of a group or an organization makes you feel like you belong with everyone else, and it definitely helps ease your transition from high school to college. Personally, I have benefited from joining the Orientation Team; it has helped me
Elle Funari
I major in Civil Engineering here at Embry-Riddle. Before then I lived in Palm Coast, Florida, only 30 minutes from here. Since starting at Embry-Riddle, I have tried out a handful of clubs and organizations on campus. Although not all of them have stuck with me, I still enjoyed the time I spent in them. Currently, I have focused on being active in three organizations: ASCE (American Society of Civil Engineers), First Generation Student Association, and ERRSA (Embry-Riddle Residence Student
make amazing friendships and great connections. These are just some examples of how joining a club or organization can really help out all new students, which is my main advice when joining Embry-Riddle. At Embry-Riddle, I have learned that everything becomes easier when you start involving yourself on campus or just being present for important events. In this way, you start making connections, which is an important aspect for any college student’s future. Another thing I learned is never to be afraid or shy to use all resources
Association). I remember my first semester trying to juggle being in 5 different clubs, which is not impossible, but it was hard to try to attend all the meetings and make sure I had time to study or hang out with friends. I learned that I was not capable of doing everything I wanted to do, and I had to decide which ones were important for me. I highly suggest trying out a few clubs/organizations at first and see which ones you like and stick with those, so you do not overwork yourself.
provided for students, whether it be scholarships, professor office hours, tutoring labs, etc. A resource I used was the PEER Mentor Program, which has helped me practice interviewing, figure out talking points for effective communication, and plan a strategic way to succeed at Embry-Riddle. Overall, you have to remember that being in college is a crucial building block required to have a successful career life; moreover, you have to go through it by working smarter, not harder and do not forget to have fun while doing it.
Finally, some words of advice, make sure you set a timer when you wash your clothes. You will forget about them, and someone will remove them so they can wash their own. Secondly, when the Career Fair rolls around, and you make your resumé, make sure that when you put Embry-Riddle on it, there is a dash between Embry and Riddle. Students forget this a lot, and it is a small detail, but it makes a huge impact on anyone looking at your resume. Good luck during your first year!
Advice for Freshman: The Senior Perspective
I am a senior and Accelerated Master’s student studying Software Engineering with a minor in Business Administration from Jacksonville, Florida. Throughout my time at Embry-Riddle, I have been involved with many organizations on campus. I currently serve as the Editor-in-Chief of The Avion Newspaper, Housing Ambassador for the Housing & Residence Life Department, and Peer Mentor, and a former Orientation Team Captain. Being a part of numerous organizations makes my dayto-day life unpredictable, but I love it. I have made
with Collins Aerospace in Rome, New York. My advice to new students is to get outside your comfort zone. Many people (myself included) experience personal growth from their freshman year to their senior year. A majority of the best memories I have are because I reached outside my comfort zone. The most impactful being my co-op in Rome, New York. During my eight months in upstate New York, I took a part-time job as a bartender, spent
Thanksgiving with one of my coworkers, took a solo trip to NYC (had a blast), and learned how to drive in snow in a Prius. If I hadn’t reached out of my comfort zone, I wouldn’t have had the opportunity to network with amazing coworkers, explore the northeast, and find a company that I love. I hope you get as much out of your college experience as I did. Welcome to Embry-Riddle!
so many connections with people from various backgrounds, gained the ability to think quickly on my feet and become more outgoing. Some of my best friends have been individuals that I have met in each of these organizations. My advice for all new students is to purchase an agenda. Having a single place where you can jot down homework assignments, exam dates, club events, and other important dates will help tremendously with your organizational skills. Next is to step outside of your comfort zone and talk to as many people as possible. Every-

I have been a part of many organizations on campus, but currently, I am a member of the Orientation Team, Fellowship of Christian Athletes, Embry-Riddle Dancing Eagles, and Emerging Leaders. I am also a University Success peer mentor! In my professional career, I have had an internship with Gulfstream in Savannah, Georgia, and a co-op
Victoria Jordan one has a story that they want to share, and you will never know whose story is like your own. This is the best way to make lasting relationships and gain future networking opportunities. Even if you end up having an awkward conversation, at least you went for it. Lastly, take advantage of every opportunity! From joining organizations that you find interesting, studying abroad, and being team leader of a group project. You never know what can come from it and the professional and personal growth you will achieve.

The Embry Riddle Future Space Explorers and Developers Society (ERFSEDS) is the university’s premier rocketry club. The club has ten different projects that cater to many different interests and teach students skills that are beneficial for the classroom and beyond. Anyone can join no matter their major, year, or skill set, and many projects are dedicated to new students who are interested in furthering their knowledge of rocketry. ERFSEDS has two competition rockets that will be competing this summer. One is Pathfinder which will be competing in the Far 1030 competition in California under the 10-thousand-foot category. Pathfinder is a rocket that is dedicated to freshman, or new students to teach them all of the basics on how to build a high-powered rocket. The other competition rocket is Artemis which will be headed to Spaceport America Cup in New Mexico to compete in the 30 thousand SRAD solids competition. Artemis is a two-stage rocket that many people advance to after participating in the Pathfinder project. The club also hosts many research projects. Some are in the early phases of development, and others are dedicated to assisting the larger rockets. Prometheus is in charge of mixing solid rocket propellants and making the experimental motors for Artemis and Pathfinder. Zephyr is researching and experimenting with supersonic parachute deployment. Cerberus is an electronics project that is dedicated to creating the avionics for the other rockets. Harbard is researching liquid engines. Gryphus is experimenting with a duct for their high-powered rocket, and Hummingbird is working with unique recovery systems. The club provides students with hands-on experience using many different tools and software programs that enhance resumes and give them an edge on the competition when looking for jobs or internships. The alumni of the club have gone on to companies such as SpaceX, Northrop Grumman, Lockheed Martin, Collins Aerospace, Jacobs, United Launch Alliance, Gulfstream Aerospace, and many more. Beyond the hard work that goes into projects, the club also hosts many fun events where members can meet new people and get to know more about each other. Each semester they host a beach day, camping trip, and movie night, and they are always looking for more suggestions on how to bring more fun to the club! ERFSEDS is always looking for new members and they would love for you to join them during the Spring semester. Be sure to join them on campus groups so that you can be informed of their meeting times and events. They look forward to meeting you all soon!

Whether you want to sail competitively, recreationally, or just try it out, the Embry-Riddle Sailing Club is the place for you. The sailing club consists of a recreational learn to sail program as well as the Sailing Team, a club sport team that competes in the Intercollegiate Sailing Association in the South Atlantic conference. If you are new to Embry-Riddle, the perfect way to make friends and meet new people is to join clubs. While COVID has limited indoor events on campus, the Sailing Club hosts all events outdoors with masks and social distancing, and by default, it’s usually pretty windy. The club hosts Learn to Sail classes each Saturday where we introduce students to sailing and sail recreationally on the Halifax River. Classes are free to all students and a great way to get started regardless of skill level. 20 to 30 students attend weekly, making for a great opportunity to meet other students. The Sailing Team is a competitive club sport team and is another great opportunity to get involved. No sailing experience is required to join the team, approximately 80 percent of the team started with zero sailing experience, many never having been on a boat before. Being a team, more commitment is required to be a member. The team holds practices two times during the week after classes and one day each weekend. The Sailing Team is a club sport on campus which allows students the opportunity to compete at the collegiate level while also prioritizing academics with a lighter practice schedule. The Team regularly competes against varsity programs and other club teams from colleges and universities across the South. What do we sail? The Sailing Club owns an Evelyn 32-2 keelboat for competing in ocean races off of Ponce Inlet as well as twelve FJ sailboats and two 420 sailboats for fleet racing and practices on the Halifax River in Daytona. Students can join by scanning the QR Code below and joining our group on CampusGroups.

Local Eats Hunter Lyons recommends Corleone’s Famous New York Pizza & Gyros “My friends and I find ourselves here at least once a week. Simplicity is key and we usually order the large cheese pizza. The family that owns it are some of the nicest people I’ve ever met. It’s fresh, thin, delicious New York style pizza.”
Korbin Martin recommends Leanh’s Chinese Restaruant “Leanh’s is my favorite spot in Daytona to go to when I want some authentic Asian food. Leanh’s offers Thai, Vietnamese, Chinese and Korean dishes and does them all well. My favorite dishes are the Fried Dumpings, Chicken Panang Curry, and the Szechuan Beef.”
Emily Parcell recommends Rice Bistro Rice bistro is my favorite place to eat in Volusia county. They have a wide variety of food from Chinese/Japanese/Vietnamese/Korean/Thai and the prices are all reasonable. Their pho is the best around, and the portions are huge! The staff is super friendly - they often leave little “thank you” messages with to-go orders. Best of all, they are a local, family-owned business.
Rajan Khanna recommends Bethune Grill Bethune Grill is one of those hole-in-the-wall spots with food that rivals the biggest competitors. Any seasoned Embry-Riddle student will point you toward Bethune Grill if you’re in the mood for wings. As it’s a favorite for on-campus catering, expect to try some throughout the semester. The honey wing sauce provides the finest culinary experience in the city.
Jordan Thomas recommends Cinnamon Tree Cafe Cinnamon Tree Cafe features superb tasting food at fairly reasonable prices. This little shop resembles the coffee shops in shows and movies that people go to just for the pastries and a place to be around people and do work. Not only do they have great ambience and even better crepes, but they also feature amazing pastries and pretty good coffee choices. It is one of the few restaurants that sitting outside and inside give the same feel. Cinnamon Tree Cafe is my go-to place for breakfast or brunch.
