GUEST SPEAKERS
Rachel Coulter, WBTV Charlotte Meteorologist:
Rachel is one of the Weekday Meteorologists for WBTV in Charlotte, North Carolina. Her fascination with the weather began early! She remembers starting a storm chasing club as a child and pursued her love for storms all the way to college. Rachel earned a meteorology degree from Millersville University in Pennsylvania, where she also had the opportunity to play basketball. Initially drawn to research, Rachel quickly discovered a passion for forecasting and communicating the weather through a couple of influential broadcast meteorology internships.
Lisa Villega, WBTV Charlotte Meteorologist:
Lisa is an Emmy-winning Meteorologist who forecasts on weekday evenings in Charlotte. She felt an instant connection to the Queen City and is proud to call it home. Whether she’s tracking severe storms or soaking in a warm Carolina sunset, Lisa is passionate about helping viewers feel informed, prepared, and connected to the world around them.
**STEM lab visits (10:30AM-12:45pm) science demonstrations (2:10PM-3:00PM) will be happening before and after our Keynote Speaker Event on the 3rd floor of Main.
