Huerta, a UC Riverside alumnus, will discuss “The Future of Aviation in the United States” on Friday, Oct. 17, from 5:30 to 7 p.m. in the Genomics Auditorium. Parking in Lot 6 is free. A reception will precede the seminar at 4:30 p.m. Reservations are requested as seating is limited and may be made here.
