The Sixth Annual AMS Student Conference and Career Fair was held the weekend prior to the meeting, January 12th and 13th. The Student Conference was a fantastic way for undergraduate students to interact with and present resumes to future employers and potential graduate schools. The Career Fair continued throughout the week of the Meeting and employers such as AccuWeather, The Boeing Company, Davis Instruments, NASA Science Mission Directorate, NOAA, UCAR, Weather Central, and WSI were present. The Sixth Annual WeatherFest is an interactive science exhibit for students, teachers, and parents to become aware of their atmosphere. On Sunday January 14th seventy “kid-friendly” booths demonstrated experiments and fun facts on the science of meteorology and oceanography. Florida State presented an exhibit, which included hands- on experiments and learning to use observational tools, such as the sling psychrometer with Dr. Ruscher. |
