Welcome!
This is just a temporary site to allow you access to the
minutes, and other documents you might want/need until we can get
things up and running on the Howard University Systems. So please
forgive the pop-ups etc. It may not be pretty, but it gives us a
home!
********************************
The Graduate Student Association for Atmospheric Sciences has been formed as a student organization with three main goals in mind:
To foster growth of Atmospheric Sciences both at/in the name of Howard University and in general.
To provide a student-faculty/staff interface which will allow for better communication of concerns and opinions of both parties, pertaining to the Howard University Atmospheric Sciences (HUPAS) program.
To facilitate interrelationships among the many departments and disciplines in the HUPAS program.
GSAAS plans to forward these goals through series of professional, social, and educational events, as well as panels and discussions among HUPAS members. There will be general meetings of GSAAS members, at least once each month, where events and issues will be discussed. In addition, there will be several committees formed by GSAAS members for the planning of discussions and events.
Reminder - Elections are on the Way! We elect our next officers at our next General Body Meeting: April 19! Remember to nominate next year's officers via email. The description of the officers' duties can be found in the consitution, downloadable here
Minutes have also been updated - notes from our last two events can be downloaded below:
Alumni Roundtable - advice from HUPAS alumni
Joint Meeting with DC-AMS with research presentations
Also, membership forms can be downloaded here - please bring yours to the election meeting!
We are ready to start a new school year! This is the first general body meeting of the Graduate School Association for Atmospheric Sciences (GSAAS). We are also HU-AMS the Howard University student chapter of the American Meteorological Society.
We’re happy to see the large number of new faces and even happier about the enthusiasm of everyone. It looks to be a promising year!
Anticipated activities this semester include participation in the 2010 WeatherFest on the National Mall, a trip to the Army Research Lab (ARL), as well as old standbys such as the Thanksgiving Potluck!
We will be participating in the WeatherFest on the National Mall, October 23-24. The following we have planned for activites. Demo/Training will be at Beltsville on September 24 at 5 PM!
