Fourth Annual AMS
Student Conference and Career Fair
Are you a student interested in meeting your peers, those like you who want to get a great job? Not sure what you want to do when you finish undergraduate or graduate school? Or would you be interested in hearing from some of the very best speakers in our profession? If you are a junior or senior undergraduate or first-year graduate student, you need to participate in the 4th Annual AMS Student Conference and Career Fair! This incredible event—targeted specifically at helping junior and senior undergraduate and first-year graduate students—will be held in San Diego, California, on January 8-9, 2005, in conjunction with the AMS Annual Meeting and we want YOU to be involved!

Our primary goals are simple: raise your awareness of the nearly endless job possibilities with the skills our profession offers, and allow you to closely interact with the best teachers, students, researchers, weather providers and entrepreneurs in our profession so that you will be better prepared to acquire the very best job for YOU! You’ll be surrounded by people who want you to succeed – professionals who will offer you their wise insights and lessons learned – and some of the very best and coolest students around! The career fair is scheduled to provide a forum for students to personally interact with employers and representatives of graduate institutions, and includes the opportunity to establish contacts, and set up interviews.

In this conference we will highlight how each one of you can, “Impact the World with a Career in the Atmospheric and Related Sciences!” Focusing on our theme, we will help you better understand the importance of technical, leadership, and oral and written communication skills to your future job. Since atmospheric, oceanographic, and hydrologic sciences are truly a global undertaking, we will also explain how the national and international communities work together to advance environmental issues and understanding.

Again, all junior and senior undergraduates, as well as first-year graduate students, are invited to participate in the 4th Annual Student Conference. There is no fee for attending the conference but preregistration is required since there will be no on-site registration. Please note that registration includes admittance to the Student Conference only. Attendees must register separately for the 85th AMS Annual Meeting.
