One devastating weather event. One idea. And a center was born where government scientists, forecasters, university researchers and students could work side by side to better understand Earth’s atmosphere, improve weather forecasts and help keep people safe.

Thank you to everyone who joined us last week for the National Weather Center’s 20th anniversary gala! It was wonderful to see so many friends, colleagues and collaborators and reflect on two decades of research, partnership and progress.

Here’s to the people and partnerships that make the work possible, and to what we’ll accomplish together in the years ahead!

At OU, the sky is both a classroom and a calling.

OU’s School of Meteorology provides students with the chance to study severe weather and explore research that can help communities become safer. Scholarships and hands-on opportunities help students follow that curiosity wherever it leads.

So this happened 20 years ago 🤯

It was an idea, then a plot of land, then finally a finished building. And now the National Weather Center is a one-of-kind collaboration, housing 12 University, state, and federal organizations that together, advance atmospheric science, deliver severe weather forecasts to keep Oklahomans safe, and give the next generation of meteorologists unparalleled hands-on training.

Happy 20th anniversary, NWC 🍾

Flashback to last summer, when students in a new DGES field course spent time at the Lake Texoma OU Biological Station collecting environmental data and putting their geospatial skills to work — the first time a DGES interdisciplinary field research course was offered at the Bio Station!

Students from Geospatial Science, GIS, Environmental Sustainability, Biology, Psychology and Multidisciplinary Studies worked in research groups investigating water quality, red cedar encroachment, native and edible plants, and the ecology of a nearby island.

Along the way, they gained hands-on experience with geospatial data collection, field mapping and environmental sampling while exploring ecoregions, ancestral land rights and local wildlife. They even went on a field trip to Hagerman National Wildlife Refuge.

Take us back!

Her typical day is as tightly choreographed as an OU Nightly newscast—but that's what it takes to be an OU broadcast meteorology student.

Follow along with Aidyn Bruns, OU Nightly’s chief meteorologist AND News 9’s newest weekend morning meteorologist, to see what a day in her life looks like.

Big news for Bee Sidwell!

The University of Oklahoma Aviation academic advisor has been named a recipient of the 2026 Outstanding New Advisor Award from NACADA: The Global Community for Academic Advising, a national recognition for advisors who have demonstrated exceptional work with students within their first three years in the profession.

“It’s sincerely a joy and an honor to guide our Aviation students from freshman year to graduation as an advisor,” Sidwell said. “It feels really special to be part of their academic journey and to watch the next generation of aviation professionals head out into the field each semester.”

Bee will be recognized at the NACADA Annual Conference in Oklahoma City this October. 🎉
