Oswego State Student Meteorology

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

Hi everyone! My name is Sarah Gryskewicz (she/her/hers), and I am the returning OSSCAMS president this year. I am a senior Meteorology major minoring in Mathematics. I am from Wilkes-Barre, PA, and was drawn to SUNY Oswego by my interest in meteorology, specifically in severe weather. I love to watch a good thunderstorm pass over the lake (hopefully without dying) or a lake-effect band set up, ideally over Oswego. Following my time at Oswego, I aspire to pursue a M.S. degree in Atmospheric Science. I am interested in and inspired by research related to wildfires, aerosols, atmospheric chemistry, air quality and public health, and numerical weather modeling. Outside of class, you’ll find me working at Fusion Cafe in Shineman, playing intramural sports, spending time with friends, and completing puzzles or word games. I am excited to get to know all newcomers and reconnect with returning members of the club throughout the year!

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

Hello! My name is Kaitlin Farrell and am your OSSCAMS Vice President for the 2025-2026 academic school year! I use she/her pronouns and am from Central Square, NY! I became interested in meteorology due to a fear of severe weather that soon became an extreme passion! I have officially gone storm chasing in the plains and am now a certified chaser! Im previous years, I was head of outreach and data analysts during the NEBP Project ‘24, data analysts with the LEE Project ‘24, and the SOURCE Project ‘24 where I worked with the DOWs! I am also a certified LESPaRC Forecaster on top of that! Before SUNY Oswego, I was a marching band and winter percussion instructor where I taught kids of all ages on music and instrument playing! My favorite weather memory is definitely the storm chasing trip with @oswegochasers! I cannot wait to be your VP for my final year here at Oswego! We have a lot of fun planned!

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.

Hi, I'm Ezekiel Caldon (he/him), but you can call me Zeke. I’m excited to be your OSSCAMS treasurer for the third time! I became interested in meteorology because I experienced some weird weather as a little kid when my family lived in north central Texas, including several strong thunderstorms, heat waves, and a snowstorm that brought over a foot of snow. My passion for weather continued when we moved to my now hometown of Albany, NY over a decade ago, and continues today as I pursue a major in meteorology with a minor in computer science (Class of '26). I also keep myself busy as one of this year's LESPaRC co-directors and as a soccer referee. I enjoy hiking, a good board game, movies and TV, and a day/night out with friends. Looking forward to a year of fun and engaging events with all of you!

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 all! My name is Kristopher Convis (he/him) but you can call me Kris, and I'm excited to be your OSSCAMS secretary this year. I'm from Edmeston, NY (near Cooperstown, NY) and sophomore Meteorology major with a minor in History. I've been fascinated by weather ever since I was a kid, after coming across a storm-chasing video on YouTube about the Joplin tornado. Having lived in the countryside of Upstate New York all my life, I've always enjoyed the experience of four seasons, especially winter with lake-effect snow and an occasional nor'easter. My hobbies include watching auto racing (especially NASCAR), collecting vinyl, attending car shows, four-wheeling, and learning about local history. I've also been volunteering at my town museum for almost 6 years. My career goal is to earn my masters in Meteorology/Atmospheric Science and become a TV weatherman. I'm looking forward to seeing new and returning faces again and to a successful year ahead!

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 all! I am George Gutierrez (he/him). I am very excited to be the Media Manager (and the one behing bothering you with G.L.A.S.S.) this year for OSSCAMS. I am from Rocky Point, Long Island, New York. It's a bit of a hike from there but it's worth it. I am currently a sophomore with a major in Meteorology! Ever since I was young, I have always been fascinated in the weather, particularly severe weather after watching everyone's favorite childhood movie, Twister. I am a big fan of tornadoes, but I am more fascinated with supercell thunderstorms. Whenever the weather is severe, expect to see me chasing in my car for hours to get the perfect shot. Outside of all weather-related hobbies, you can find me geeking out over Legos, down by the beach, hanging out with friends or working out in the gym. Hopefully when college is said and done, I would like to work at a news station and maybe be even a part time storm chaser. I am extremely excited to see all of you, new and returning, and let's have a great year!
