Sharon Ledgister-Reid followed in her father's engineering footsteps and developed a family legacy at Morgan State University. Her studies prepared her for an FAA career working on technologies that keep flights safe. “In addition to the rigorous curriculum, Morgan gave us opportunities for internships.
