MetoGrads

The purpose of this graduate student organization is to provide a foundation for bringing students together to perform group activities that allow for the building of character, experience, and excellence in the field of atmospheric and oceanic science.

In order to become a member of MetoGrads, one must be a full or part time registered graduate student in the Department of Atmospheric and Oceanic Science (AOSC). MetoGrads openly admits AOSC graduate students to its membership and does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, creed, sex, sexual orientation, marital status, personal appearance, age, national origin, political affiliation, physical or mental ability, or on the basis of rights secured by the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. 

We hold weekly meetings throughout the semester. All board members are required to attned, but all other AOSC graduate students are welcome, although attendance is not mandatory.

Community discussion, news and event announcements are hosted on our Slack workspace. Ask one of our officers for an invite!

Incoming, Current, and Alumni Graduate students are encouraged to stay connected through our Slack message board. Join the group to hear more about upcoming social events, plan study sessions, and enjoy relatable graduate student memes.
