First Meeting of the Semester!

We had our first meeting of the academic year! The meeting started off with a fun icebreaker where members had to take a sheets of toilet paper (without knowing why) and had to say a fact about themselves for every sheet of paper they had. Next, there were 3 different presentations given by upperclassmen. The presentations included "Things I Wish I Would've Known as a Freshman," "What Have Our Upperclassmen Been Up To?" and a presentation about the American Meteorological Society Conference that will be taking place in Austin, Texas. Other topics that were discussed were outreach events and fall trip ideas.

The meeting was very successful, and we hope to see more people out for the next one. This is going to be a great year!
