Video - Scenes from Embry-Riddle – no sound.

Forever an Eagle

Video Description

Three uniformed flight crew members stand at the bottom of the boarding stairs from a small Republic Airways jet. Their arms are around each other and they're smiling at the camera, which slowly arcs around them.

Three alumni pose with their Embry‑Riddle logo gear and an Alumni badge in the student union on the Daytona Beach Campus. All three are dressed casually and smiling and one has his arm around another. The student union behind them is bustling.

The camera pushes in on a woman standing below a large, white building in bright sunlight, the wind blowing though her hair. She's wearing a blue zip up jacket with the NASA logo embroidered on the chest.

The camera pans across a line of graduates - several people deep - waving, smiling and celebrating in their graduation caps, gowns, sashes and cords.
