The award was presented for actively participating in the FAA Aviation Technician Training Program, and for the university's commitment to increasing aviation safety.
"Participation in this highly effective training program places the faculty of Eastern New Mexico University-Roswell in a very elite group of Aviation Maintenance Technician schools," said Karen Adams, Manager, Flight Standards District Office in Albuquerque.
"The Federal Aviation Administration appreciates the dedication and professionalism of ENMU-Roswell by making individual time and training available for its faculty to have the opportunity to participate in the Maintenance Technician Awards Program.
