Indiana State University welcomed FedEx officials on Oct. 13 for a day that presented College of Technology students with learning and networking opportunities. Students who received the FedEx Purple Runway Aviation Scholarship in 2020 and 2021 were recognized during the FedEx Takeover Day luncheon and awards program. Jim Bowman — retired FedEx executive and ISU alumnus who was instrumental in bringing the FedEx Purple Runway program to ISU — attended the event.
Activities for FedEx Takeover Day took place at John T. Myers Technology Center and the ISU Flight Academy. FedEx representatives also spoke in five classes in the Department of Aviation Technology.
