April is National Autism Acceptance Month. Over the next week, we will be sharing information and tips to enhance our interactions with our colleagues who are on the autism spectrum. 😊

April is #AutismAwarenessMonth and #AutismAcceptanceMonth !

This month we will be amplifying the voices and stories of members of our community to promote inclusivity and better understanding!

new grads: if NWS entry level jobs get posted before you have your degree in hand, you CAN still apply and be eligible to get a job!! my personal experience was applying and submitting my app before graduation and I got in!!! it is not true that you shouldn't apply w/o a degree!!

Prepare for extreme weather by having emergency meeting places for you & your people, whether your family members, coworkers, or students. Map out exits, & share the address and directions. In the event of an evacuation, have an out-of-location determined in advance. #mowx #ilwx
