Students who have earned their Private Pilot Certificate at Kent State University or have completed their first flight course at Kent State University are invited to participate in the ceremonial pinning of wings. Private pilots will receive 2 sets of wings from an alumni professional pilot from Kent State University. The wings will differ in size and include larger set to be worn at formal events and gatherings and a smaller lapel set to be worn in business casual settings.
