Student Organizations

American Meteorological Society (AMS)

AMS is a student organization that provides a meeting place for students interested in atmospheric science. It helps build valuable network ties among students by participating in various educational, community service, and fundraising events. Guest speakers and tours of local weather facilities give the students an opportunity to learn more about the careers offered in atmospheric sciences.

Atmospheric Science Graduate Student Association (ASGSA)

The purpose of ASGSA is to provide atmospheric science graduate student feedback to the Department of Atmospheric Sciences Graduate Committee, unite graduate students throughout the department through organized sponsored events and activities, and provide opportunities for professional growth. Those eligible to join ASGSA are anyone who is a student at the University of North Dakota taking graduate-level classes in the Atmospheric Sciences Department or has an assistantship through the Atmospheric Sciences Department (GRA, GTA, or GSA), and has paid the required dues. We meet about three times a semester.

Advisor: Aaron Kennedy

UND Weather Update

UND Weather Update is open to any student who wishes to participate. Students will learn how to create a forecast, develop a weather show, and develop the communication and presentation skills required to deliver weather forecasts to the general public, on camera. Additionally, the Weather Update team provides weather forecasts for the Grand Forks community and the surrounding region, through a public weather broadcast.

Graduate Assistantships

Graduate assistantships are available on a competitive basis to qualified graduate students in the Department of Atmospheric Sciences. These assistantships provide an employment opportunity for students to help defray the costs of education and provide work experience within the field. These assistantship positions are also generally accompanied by tuition waiver support. Assistantships may be awarded for teaching (GTA) or research (GRA) activities. GRAs are provided by faculty through external grant funds that support the faculty member's research. The work performed under a GRA may or may not be aligned with the thesis topic of the student, depending on the match between the student's interest and her/his advisor's needs. Additional information regarding graduate assistantships may be found at the School of Graduate Studies.

Available teaching and research assistantships are listed on our employment page.
