  • The DreamLaunch presentation was an out-of-the-park "Home Run," Jamail's discussions with our faculty and students were inspiring and informative. He gave our students "golden nuggets" of wisdom and his passion for aviation excellence is infectious, and energized all. Students are still abuzz about his presentation.

  • Jamail was absolutely fantastic.  He's polished yet passionate delivery along with exciting videos held young people riveted during his talk.  Not only did he show our young people a world that they never knew existed, he also showed them that they could be part of that world.
