American Meteorological Society 2026
The Student Chapter of the American Meteorological Society at Iowa State University (AMS at ISU) is excited to announce that we are attending the 107th AMS Annual Meeting and 26th Annual Student Conference in January 2027! With your support, ISU AMS students can present their original research with both poster and oral presentations, learn about cutting-edge research in the field, and network with professionals and graduate school advisors at the career and resource fair. Students will also explore careers, attend broadcast meteorology tape swaps, construct professional resumes, and practice interview skills at the 26th Annual Student Conference. A total of 33 students attended the 106th Annual Meeting in January, a near-record attendance!
During the 2025-2026 school year, our chapter has strived for academic excellence, strong community outreach, and building relationships between members. This year, our students have had numerous opportunities to network with professionals in the field. We have focused on our chapter's outreach, headed by the outreach committee chairs, Braden T. Tate and Zach Novy. This group of students works to help educate students at local schools, build anemometer kits, and speak at conferences for young students in STEM. Our Female Engagement Officer, Maggie Grigg, aims to ensure the involvement of women in our chapter and encourage our female students to network with other female alumni. Maggie has worked to have fun activities and professional development sessions with alumni and women in the field for the women in our chapter. Our Sophomore Chair, Anna Konrad, does a great job of including new students in the major and familiarizing them with the department and other students in the major. In addition to your gifts, students work in football, basketball, and volleyball concession stands to raise money for the AMS Annual Meeting. Between your generous donations and hard work at concessions, students have the opportunity to fully fund their trip to the AMS conference.
