This Amelia Earhart Day we are highlighting 2023 Amelia Earhart Fellow, Franziska Hild as she shares how the support she received from the Zonta International Amelia Earhart Endowment Fund has allowed Franziska to pursue her Ph.D in Aerospace Engineering. Franziska wants to use her experience to inspire others to follow their dreams and encourage women and girls to pursue a career in aerospace.

Celebrating Amelia Earhart Month

In February, Zonta Denver II hosted the Area 3 Meeting and honored two very special Fellows; Anne Theurkauf, Aerospace Engineering at the University of Colorado Boulder and Kaylee Champion, Aerospace Engineering Sciences at the University of Colorado Boulder.

We are celebrating the spirit and impact of legendary pilot Amelia Earhart, one of Zonta International's most famous former members. On 11 January 1935, Earhart embarked on a 2,408-mile trip from Honolulu, Hawaii to Oakland, California. The next day, she became the first person to fly solo to the United States mainland from Hawaii. Since she had flown over the Atlantic Ocean five years earlier, this flight also made her the first person to fly across both the Pacific and Atlantic oceans.
Nearly 85 years after Earhart disappeared, women are still outnumbered in the aerospace industry, making up around 25% of the workforce. As part of our efforts to encourage women to excel in traditionally male-dominated fields, Zonta International annually awards women pursuing Ph.D./doctoral degrees in aerospace engineering and space sciences with the Amelia Earhart (AE) Fellowship.

Zonta Club of Denver II is a professional organization dedicated to helping women and girls. Our members’ commitment is to making a difference in the lives of individual women in the Denver metro area and across the globe.
