Joel N. Myers Weather Center Dedication
I didn't get a chance to blog about it until today, but I attended the dedication of the Joel N. Myers Weather Center at Pennsylvania State University in July. Dr. Myers, AccuWeather's President, donated $2 million to Penn State in 2009 and part of that built this state-of-the-art teaching facility on the PSU campus in the Walker Building. Here are some behind-the-scenes photos of the dedication I uploaded to Facebook.com/AccuWeather and the AccuWeather.com Photo Gallery:

StateCollege.com also has an excellent article about the Penn State Meteorology program celebrating their 75th anniversary (this dedication was part of that celebratory weekend). That article explains his ties to the University:
