“Johnna is a leader among her peers and is always one of the first ones to step up to help the under classmates,” said Allen Wilson, SFA’s aviation program director. “Sayer is a natural born leader and promotes camaraderie and teamwork among his classmates. They’re both very deserving of this honor.”
