Jeff Masters (BS AOSS ’82, MS ’83, PhD ’97) of Highland, Michigan, has endowed the Jeff Masters Student Support Fund. The Fund provides need-based support to students and student programs in the Department of Climate and Space Sciences and Engineering (CLaSP), formerly AOSS. Preference will be given to students and programs in atmospheric and climate sciences.

Jeff is co-founder of the website Weather Underground, one of the first online weather services. He is a member of the department’s national advisory board and was the recipient of the AOSS Alumni Merit Award in 2006.
