Ninth AMS Symposium on Education

The American Meteorological Society held its Ninth Symposium on Education in conjunction with the 80th Annual Meeting in Long Beach, California. The theme of this year's symposium was Atmospheric and Oceanographic Education-Expanding Our Vision for the New Millennium. Thirty-five oral presentations and 53 poster presentations summarized a variety of educational programs or examined educational issues for both the precollege and university levels. There was a special session reporting on a recent survey conducted by the Board on Women and Minorities as well as a special session on the educational applications of satellite meteorology and oceanography. Over 200 people representing a wide spectrum of the Society attended one or more of the sessions in this two-day conference. The program for the Ninth Symposium on Education can be viewed in the October 1999 issue of the Bulletin.
