Kristopher Convis ('28)
President

The President is responsible for the general operations of the club, as well as the club's well-being.

Hello everyone! My name is Kristopher Convis (he/him) but you can call me Kris, and I am honored to serve as your OSSCAMS President for the 2026–2027 academic year. I am a junior Meteorology major with a minor in History from Edmeston, NY (a small town near Cooperstown, NY). Having lived in the countryside of Upstate New York all my life, I've always enjoyed experiencing all four seasons, especially winter with its lake-effect snow and an occasional nor'easter. I love watching auto racing (especially NASCAR), collecting vinyl records, attending car shows, four-wheeling, and learning about local history. I am a trained SKYWARN spotter and have also volunteered at my town museum for nearly seven years. On campus, I am actively involved in the student-run television station, WTOP-10, where I serve as Assistant Chief Meteorologist. My career goal is to earn my B.S degree in Meteorology and become a broadcast meteorologist. I am excited to meet newcomers, reconnect with returning members, and make this an engaging, welcoming, and memorable year for all!


George Gutierrez ('28)
Vice President

The Vice President works with the President for selected tasks, and assumes full leadership in the absence of the President.

Hello! I am George, the vice president of the meteorology club! I am a meteorology major going into my junior year. 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. When I’m not in the meteorology lounge, you can find me at the gym working out. I also am a geek for Legos and outdoor activities. With my future regarding meteorology, I am potentially joining the navy and using my degree to become a meteorologist in the navy.


David Pearson ('28)
Treasurer

The Treasurer handles all of the club's finances, from collecting money from members for trips to submitting purchase orders for club activities. The treasurer also takes care of reserving rooms for our conference GLASS, hotels for club trips, club sponsored events, and club picnics.

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!


Alexa Fodrowski ('28)
Secretary

The Secretary is in charge of recording the subject matter at the meetings, sending the notes to the AMS and club members, as well as keeping track of attendance and the club meetings.

Hello everyone! My name is Alexa Fodrowski (She/her) but you can call me Lex, and I am honored to serve as our OSSCAMS Secretary for the 2026-2027 academic year. 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!!!


Sy Sosa Medina ('27)
Media Manager

The media manager is in charge of all social media accounts, the club website, and helps to organize and promote all club events and activities.

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! Prior to joining SUNY-Oswego, I worked 8+ years in informal education, having taught at museums, amongst the Adirondacks, and within the old growth forests of Oregon- though I will always call New York City my home. It was while working in the mountains of Oregon 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, mentoring CSTEP students, (potentially) tutoring meteorology classes this Fall, and preparing for several conferences presenting novel research conducted at Brookhaven National Lab this summer! 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!
