Students at both the Prescott, Arizona, campus and the Daytona Beach, Florida, campus are now full WAI members. The 1,372 Embry-Riddle students will receive all WAI member benefits, including qualifying to apply for WAI’s scholarships, reduced conference fees, and networking and chapter activities. The membership costs were provided in part by Embry-Riddle and in part by a donor who is an alumni of the university.
