Join Lt. Col. Olga Custodio on Oct. 7 at 7 PM in Regents Hall, Burpee Student Center as she provides insight to “An Evening with Lt. Colonel Olga Custodio, USAF”. 

Turned away from flight school because she was a woman, Lt. Col. Olga Custodio went on to break barriers as the first Latina to complete USAF military pilot training, first to become a USAF pilot, and later, as the first Latina commercial pilot for American Airlines. Lt. Col. Custodio’s visit is in celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month and is Rockford University’s Rock Solid Success Seminar, an annual event designed to provide encouragement and motivation to all students as they pursue graduation from RU.
