Andy Brown - Aviation Grad
“I've always said that Geneva, like life, is what you want to make of it.” That’s the perspective that Andy Brown ’07 brought with him to campus four years ago — and continues to bring to life in general. As one of only a handful of students able to complete the rigorous aviation dual major offered by Geneva in coordination with a local community college, Andy's success against the odds continued this summer as he completed a strenuous training program with U.S. Airways Express in Charlotte, N.C., and is now getting settled in Roanoke, Va., where he is a first officer for the airline. “The training lasted about three months and was, by far, the hardest experience of my life,” Andy says. “Only about half of the training class I started with was able to make it through to completion.” But Andy has no illusions about the basis of his new career and success in school. He’s quick to acknowledge God’s grace, and he also understands that his success or failure in his training “is not what defines [his] value as a human.” He credits this perspective to his alma mater. “Geneva was the place and time where I fell in love with God and learning,” he says, “and where I developed a passion to change the world for Christ.” Andy hopes to be a light for Christ in his current position, but his long-term plans make room for other pursuits as well. “Through my studies in history and the liberal arts at Geneva, I became attuned to a calling to higher education,” he says. “I hope to attend law school or grad school within the next ten years.”
