WKU senior Caity Frederick of Lexington, a double major in Meteorology and Dance, is the 2021 recipient of the American Meteorological Society's Liv and Walt Lyons Senior Named Scholarship. She will receive the $2,500 scholarship award in January at the annual AMS Conference in Houston.
“I have learned so much from the Meteorology Program,” Frederick said. “The program has taught about more than just the weather; it has taught me how to become a leader and apply what I learn in class to the real world. Being at WKU has allowed me to explore both of my passions for weather and dance as well as get involved with other organizations.”
Frederick serves as the Lead Forecaster for White Squirrel Weather, is the senior researcher for the ARTP Disaster Science Operations Center and is the Vice President of the Student Chapters of the American Meteorological Society and National Weather Association. She has worked as a Teaching Assistant for the Introductory Meteorology Lab course and participated in the 2021 WKU Storm Chase course.
