ALT Hello everyone! My name is Sy Sosa Medina (she/they), and I am honored to be the OSSCAMS Media Manager for this 2026-2027 academic year! I was born and raised in NYC, though I have worked in Oregon. It was while working in the mountains there I fell in love with the sky, and ended up completing my Associate’s in Earth and Planetary Sciences before pursuing a Bachelor’s in Meteorology and minoring in Mathematics. This year will be especially busy, as I will be serving as one of LESPaRC’s Co-Directors for this season and preparing for several conferences presenting summer research! Rest, however, is very important. When not working, you’re likely to find me hidden away enjoying a cup of coffee, playing video games (Minecraft or Peak, anyone?), or watching a storm pass by amongst soft moss and rains. I am looking forward to meeting new members, reuniting with old peeps, and starting off the Fall 2026 semester! See y’all around– Happy trails! 🍃🌪️☕

ALT "Hello! My name is David Pearson (He/ him), and I am honored to serve as the OSSCAMS Treasurer this academic year! I am a Meteorology Major with Math Minor from Oswego, NY. I became interested in meteorology after experiencing a microburst when I was 8, and by living in a town that gets Lake Effect snow. I am hoping to go to graduate school after Oswego and enter the forecasting side of the field. When I’m not doing meteorology, I mostly like to write, birdwatch, and exercise. I am mostly looking forward to being around my classmates again so we can talk weather, and hopefully doing some more research!"

I am a junior Meteorology Major with a minor in Math. I am from Middle Island, NY. I love listening to all music and learning about new things all the time. I grew up around sports and playing softball almost my whole life. I currently am a Team Developer on Club Softball. I recently have completed my summer internship at Brookhaven National Lab (SULI). I am excited to continue my research and go on to get my masters degree in Atmospheric Science. My favorite part about going to Oswego was finally being able to find myself and find people who are like me!!!"

His favorite weather is Supercell Thunderstorms, with interests including building LEGOs, storm-chasing, photography, and working out.

ALT "Hello! I'm George, the vice president of the meteorology club! I am a Jr. Meteorology major. I’ve been interested in meteorology since I was a little kid after watching Twister, and that fascination has never gone away. I’m looking forward to doing new things this year, meeting many new people and continuing to broaden my knowledge of meteorology. While fall is my favorite season, spring brings my favorite weather phenomenon, supercell thunderstorms. The amount of events that can occur within supercells is amazing, and their beauty is like no other. When I’m not in the meteorology lounge, you can find me at the gym working out. I am a geek for Legos and outdoor activities. I also do weather photography, which you can all see on my media page on IG. During the summer, I work as a lifeguard at LI's outdoor waterpark, Splish Splash, where I’ve been working for the past 3 yrs. With my future, I am potentially joining the navy as a meteorologist. I am beyond excited for this year!"
