Michael R. Robison, an aviation instructor at Penn College, also happens to be a competitive glider pilot. Robison is a member of the U.S. Soaring Team and will compete for the third time at the World Championships in the Czech Republic this summer. The faculty member's hobby, which grew from the model airplanes of his youth, mirrors the excitement he feels for his day job at the college's Lumley Aviation Center in Montoursville. "The facilities are fantastic. I'm amazed at the different opportunities and equipment," he says in a new YouTube post produced by writer/video editor Tom Speicher. "It's neat to see the students make connections and start to have a passion grow for the thing that I'm pretty passionate about." Watch for much more about Robison in an upcoming issue of Penn College Magazine.
