The Department of Meteorology and Atmospheric Science has organized an alumni society; an "affiliated program group" in the College of Earth and Mineral Sciences (EMS). The group, called MAPS (for Meteorology Alumni of Penn State), is approved by GEMS (the EMS alumni society, to which MAPS must report) and is now over 840 members strong. Membership in MAPS is FREE and will help to ensure that you receive current news from the department.
