The meteorology community at Penn State was saddened by the news of Bob Case's passing in July 2008. Bob received his M.S. in Meteorology from Penn State in 1972 and served as the Meteorologist-in-Charge of the National Weather Service in State College from 1993-95. His family and friends have established an annual scholarship that will honor his memory and passion for the field of meteorology by providing financial assistance to third and fourth year students. For more information about Bob and information on how you can contribute to this memorial fund, please view the memorial announcement.
