Two of our alums visited Monday (9/23/13) and spoke with our students. Our main guest was Ed Young (class of 73), who is now the Deputy Director at NOAA National Weather Service Pacific Region. His head office is in Honolulu, Hawaii, and he has oversight of multiple NWS offices scattered across the western Pacific. Ed really enjoyed his visit, and was especially impressed with our new instrumentation upstairs in our lab. Below are some snapshots.
Accompanying Ed was Kevin Baker (class of 82), currently the MIC (Meteorologist in Charge) at NWS-Monterey Bay! Here’s their facebook page. Kevin spoke to our students briefly about life in the NWS.
It was wonderful to have these alums come back to visit – and we are always happy to hear from you all out there in weather land!
