The established campus leadership group will highlight collaboration while providing encouragement and helping students make critical connections.

Whether you’re a working professional aiming to advance your career, actively serving in the military and planning to boost your education or transition to a civilian role, or just someone seeking the best in online learning, having peer support can make all the difference in your academic journey at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University’s Worldwide Campus.

That’s one of the key factors behind the College of Business Student Council.

Among the Student Council leaders is Andrew Appleby (’26), a 22-year veteran of the U.S. Navy who transitioned from the service in 2021 and now works as a Service Project Coordinator for Siemens in North Carolina.

Andrew, who is more than a year into pursuing a B.S. in Aviation Business Administration, says he couldn’t resist an opportunity that aligned so well with his approach to advancing his education and career and helping fellow students along the way.

“I was presented with this opportunity to mentor students in ways that will enable them to network among themselves and with faculty and alumni,” he said. “I believe that the only closed door is the one you don't open. I saw this Student Council as an opportunity to show fellow students how that philosophy has dictated my life and how it can help them achieve their life goals.”
