The William E. Boeing Distinguished Lecture Series returned to campus in October 2022 after its hiatus during the COVID-19 pandemic. Grazia Vittadini, chief technology officer for Rolls-Royce, spoke about the challenges facing sustainability in aviation, and the human and business needs to meet those challenges.

Vittadini and Boeing CTO Todd Citron, along with representatives from both companies, also met with students and faculty and toured AAE facilities during their visit.
