CWG's College Series: Part 1 [Ep. 385]

This week, the Carolina Weather Group is kicking off a new multi-part series talking to our industry’s rising stars. You’re going to hear from 12 atmospheric science students currently studying at college programs across the United States: What drove these kids into weather? How did they pick their schools? And what do they hope to accomplish in their career?
