e v e r y dr e am ma t t e r s Lou is C. "Lou" se No j r. "The new program really touched home for me; it connects my involvement in the industry with my contributions to Embry-Riddle. " -Louis C. "Lou" Seno Jr. (H '07, DB) TAKING BUSINESS TO HEART L ouis C. "Lou" Seno Jr. (H '07, DB) knows dollars and cents-and he knows aviation. So when he and his wife, Christine, learned about the new Master of Science in Aviation Finance degree at the Daytona Beach Campus, they cashed in on the opportunity to establish the university's first privately funded professorship. "We were at a time in our lives where we wanted to do something more substantial here, Seno says. "The new program really " touched home for me; it connects my involvement in the industry with my contributions to Embry-Riddle. " Seno has had a lifelong connection with aviation. Since he was 6 years old, he has made the annual pilgrimage to the Experimental Aircraft Association's Fly-In Convention (now known as EAA AirVenture Oshkosh). He attended his 59th consecutive EAA gathering this past summer. Seno's love of business, particularly finance, runs a close second to his interest in aviation. He spent more than 30 years in the aircraft finance business, and then became president and CEO of Jet Support Services Inc. (JSSI), a company he co-founded. He currently serves as chairman emeritus for JSSI. 8 p h i l a nth r o py r e p o rt g i v i n gto.E R A U.E d U With a lifetime's worth of aviation and business in his column, Seno is mindful of the important role finance plays in the industry. "Because finance has so many touchstones, it's a medium that links a lot of other parts of aviation, he says. " The Christine and Louis Seno Professorship in Aviation Finance will help launch the new M.S. in Aviation Finance program, debuting this fall, by funding the activities of a distinguished faculty member. One of the professor's first goals is to seek and acquire an endorsement from the Chartered Financial Analyst Institute, a global association that sets the standard for excellence and credentials for investment and finance professionals. Seno believes the new program will play an important role in advancing Embry-Riddle's College of Business in the eyes of industry. "Embry-Riddle is known for flight training and engineering, but this program will really set us apart on the business side, he says. " Seno is a former member of the President's Advisory Council and an honorary alumnus of Embry-Riddle and has served as a member of the Board of Trustees since 2009. He and Christine are also members of the Embry-Riddle Legacy Society. http://GIVINGTO.ERAU.EDU
