Meteorology students with WIC Director Kyle Elliott in front of the map wall.A trademark of Millersville University's Meteorology program is student participation in the Campus Weather Service (CWS). Regarded as one of the most trusted and reliable sources of weather information in southeastern PA and the Lower Susquehanna Valley, CWS forecasts are produced by our student meteorologists three times a day (2 on weekends). Under the supervision of Weather Information Center Director Kyle Elliott, students learn to apply mathematical and scientific concepts taught in their core classes through a hands-on forecasting perspective. CWS forecasters issue three products: a short-term forecast, brief weather discussion, and 7-day outlook. Students learn to not only produce a timely and accurate forecast but also focus on its impacts to lives, property and different lines of business. In addition, students are given the opportunity to participate in short- and medium-range forecast videos that simulate an on-air-style broadcast. Participation in either or both the CWS and LiveStream videos bolster a student's resume and give them invaluable experience in operational forecasting prior to graduation.
