Harvard ROTC Aviation Award Recipient 2019: 2nd Lt. Christina Lowell (Air Force)

2nd Lt. Lowell describes herself as being "thrilled beyond belief," as a high school student, when her instructor gave her control of the yoke during an introductory flight. Her family has a long tradition of military service, including an uncle who flew helicopters. She is particularly drawn to the air mobility and helicopter communities and is inspired by the motto of the 66th Rescue Squadron, "These things we do, that others may live."
