Engaging the Future: Improving Today's Community for Tomorrow's Scientists

This year's student conference focuses on the diversity of training, experience, and practice within the geosciences. Through keynote talks and live, pre-recorded, and hybrid sessions, the student conference aims to examine how we are improving our community of scholars. Intended for all undergraduate and graduate students, sessions will be available about topics such as recent research in the meteorological sector, career path advice, and experience both in and out of the field during graduate school. 

 

There will be a graduate school/career resource fair, which will provide a forum for students to personally interact with potential employers and graduate institutions. The conference concludes with a poster session featuring student presenters on Sunday evening. While all registered attendees of the Student Conference and Annual Meeting are encouraged to attend the poster session, those attending sessions on Saturday and Sunday must be an active AMS member and register separately from the Annual Meeting.
