Meteorology-Climatology Student Spotlight
The Meteorology-Climatology Student Spotlight is your opportunity to learn a bit more about one of your fellow Meteorology-Climatology majors at UNL. This week, Kylee Matousek from Omaha, Nebraska, is in the spotlight.
Name: Kylee Matousek
Major: Meteorology-Climatology
Year in School: Senior
Where are you from?
Omaha, Nebraska
What gets you excited about Meteorology-Climatology?
I absolutely love watching and talking about severe weather, especially severe thunderstorms and tornadoes.
Favorite Meteorology-Climatology class or instructor so far? Why?
My favorite class so far has been Dynamic Meteorology because it was the first meteorology class that made me able to really understand and visualize how the atmosphere works.
What are you excited about doing after graduation?
I plan to go to grad school to get my master's degree, so I am excited for wherever that takes me.
What is a goal you have accomplished as a Husker?
A goal I have had since sophomore year that I was able to accomplish this year was to increase engagement in the AMS club and get non-meteorology majors to join and get excited about weather.
What do you wish you would have known when you started as a Meteorology-Climatology Major that you know now?
I wish I knew how many scholarship, internship, and research opportunities there were both within the department and outside the university. They can be difficult to find alone but paying attention to my email and attending AMS meetings opened up a lot of opportunities for me.
What do you hope to cross off your “bucket list” in the next few years?
Being the first person in my family to get a bachelor's degree is definitely a bucket list goal I'm going for, but I also really want to finally get a good quality picture of a tornado.
