What is the Student Chapter of the AMS?
The Student Chapter of the American Meteorological Society is made up of a group of students, from Metro State College of Denver, who are pursuing degrees in meteorology. Since meteorology is definitely not the most popular major in college, our group is small. As a result, it's easy to become friends with all of the members.

What kind of things do we do?
SCAMS has planned a wide variety of trips over the years. We have visited the National Weather Service building, and the National Center for Atmospheric Research buildings, in Boulder. We've also had guest speakers visit us to talk about El Nino, flash floods, avalanches and other weather information. SCAMS also plans fun trips throughout the semesters. We've gone bowling, made personal weather forecasts for views at the KMGH 7 News station with Mike Nelson, hosted many successful Storm Spotter meetings, and every year we go to the AMS Annual Meeting which will be held in Atlanta, GA January 2010. But, don't let all of this overwhelm you. SCAMS usually has quite a few meetings throughout the semester, and tries to accomodate everyone's busy schedule.

How do I join Denver's Student Chapter?
Becoming a Student Chapter member is quite easy. You don't have to have a certain number of credits, and you don't have to be in a specific meteorology class. Just click on the "Contact US" link and contact one of the officers. The fee is only $10 per semester, and is definitely worth it.
