We are the “weather" RSO here on campus. Being a part of SCAMS will reinforce the community with a collaborative atmosphere that is already present in our department.
As a Student Chapter of the American Meteorological Society and Registered Student Organization with the university, any student at UIUC who has an interest in atmospheric sciences is more than welcome to join! Our organization facilitates interaction between students in all stages of academic and professional development.
Here's a summary of the Objectives of SCAMS@UIUC:
Act as an interface between students interested in the atmospheric sciences at UIUC with the rest of the university
Serve as a conduit between students interested in the atmospheric sciences at UIUC with a national professional organization: the American Meteorological Society
