American Meteorological Society 2022

The Iowa State University Student Chapter of the American Meteorological Society (ISU AMS) is excited to announce that we will be attending the 102nd AMS Annual Meeting and 21st Annual Student Conference virtually in January 2022! With your support, ISU AMS students have the opportunity to 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, all from the safety of their homes. Students will also explore careers, attend broadcast meteorology tape swaps, construct professional resumes, and practice interview skills at the virtual 21st Annual Student Conference.  A total of 20 students are attending the 102nd Annual Meeting virtually next month. We hope that students can attend the 103rd Annual Meeting in person in Denver, Colorado, in 2023. Alumni of our program will be eager to help the students plan their very first in-person conference next year. 

During the 2021-2022 school year, our chapter continues striving for academic excellence, strong community outreach, and building relationships between members. We started the academic year off with an ice cream social for new members to meet returning members and faculty (Figure 1). For the first time, an outreach committee was formed to support our outreach chair, Zach. This group of students works to help educate students at local schools, build anemometer kits, and speak at conferences for young girls in STEM (Figure 2). In addition to your gifts, students work in football, basketball, and volleyball concession stands to raise money for the AMS Annual Meeting (Figure 3). Between your gifts and concessions, students are able to fully fund their trip to the annual meetings.

Thank you so much for supporting the next generation of meteorologists!
