As an aviation major, OU’s #1 ranked program immediately stood out. What made it even more meaningful was the chance to finish something my great-grandfather started. He served in the Air Force but never had the opportunity to fulfill his dream of becoming a pilot. Being here at OU, with the resources, flight training, and support I’ve received, I feel like I’m not just pursuing my own dream — I’m honoring his. OU has given me the wings to fly for both of us.” SKY PORTER | OU Class of 2026 Major: Aviation From: Fort Worth, Texas
