The NWAF Phillips Family Undergraduate Scholarship for Meteorology
Jacob Genuise
Jacob Genuise is a Sophomore at the University of Oklahoma, majoring in Meteorology with minors in Math and Sociology. He is a member of the OU Honors College and received the AMS Freshman Undergraduate Scholarship in Fall 2017. He was peer-elected as the Freshman Representative for the OU-SCAN Student Chapter of the AMS/NWA and is also employed as a Student Operator with the Oklahoma Mesonet. Jacob is inspired by people and was particularly impacted by early memories of Hurricane Katrina. This drove him to consider a minor in sociology, which he hopes will allow him to help discover better ways to serve society through improved forecasting and recovery aid.
