Convocation Address Speaker

Jeremy Lewan

Meteorologist for WNEP-TV, the ABC affiliate in central and northeastern Pennsylvania; Honors College and School of Environmental and Biological Sciences alumnus—Class of 2022

Jeremy Lewan graduated Meteorology Student of the Year in May 2022 with his Bachelor of Science degree in Meteorology from the School of Environmental and Biological Sciences at Rutgers University–New Brunswick, as an Honors College student with a perfect 4.0 GPA (receiving nothing less than an “A” in every class since kindergarten). He’s wanted to be a meteorologist since he was 5 years old, and he is now the evening weekday and weekend meteorologist for the ABC-affiliate WNEPTV Stormtracker 16 team based in Scranton, Pennsylvania, reporting for central and northeastern Pennsylvania. He is also the only long-haired on-air male meteorologist in America.

In addition to being the evening weekday and weekend meteorologist at WNEP-TV, Jeremy writes, films, edits, and produces his own segment called “Jeremy’s Journeys,” where he showcases events and places unique to central and northeastern Pennsylvania. He also maintains the “Skywatch 16” franchise, a monthly segment, which highlights interesting celestial events visible to his viewers, often weaving ancient history into stories of the heavens.

Jeremy has spearheaded an initiative at his station to prepare and produce weekly written and oral Spanish weather broadcasts to ensure Hispanic communities remain informed and safe. As an avid eclipse enthusiast and NASA Partner Eclipse Ambassador, he also aims to share eclipse science and safety with his viewers and community through multilingual broadcasts, for which he has won a prestigious Pennsylvania Association of Broadcasting Award.

While a student at Rutgers, Jeremy interned with Al Roker on the TODAY Show and won a top-prize scholarship from the American Meteorological Society. Jeremy also participated in the STEMSEAS (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math Student Experiences Aboard Ships) Program and now serves as an ambassador for STEMSEAS, speaking at conferences around the world to raise awareness for the initiative and educate students about the many career possibilities available in the geosciences.

In addition to his broadcast job, Jeremy is also a professional signed model and has walked on the runway in countless shows for New York Fashion Week. Jeremy has always been inspired and encouraged to pursue his passions, and he aims to encourage others by dismantling long-outdated stereotypes and serving as a role model for students who look like him, thus championing diversity, equity, and inclusion in the geoscience realm.

Henna Aslam * Mason Gross School of the Arts

THE HONORS COLLEGE MEDAL AND STOLE

The medal’s original design was inspired by the clock tower, which stands high above the Honors College building and plays the Rutgers University alma mater, “On the Banks of the Old Raritan,” daily. The trees in the design represent growth and strength for a bright future. The three birds are a symbol of time passing as well as harmony and peace, with the number three also referencing the original Honors College motto—Curiosity. Knowledge. Purpose.—and now, as the fully integrated Honors College encompassing all of the Rutgers Honors community—Inspired. Empowered. Connected. We have incorporated this design and related symbolism in the Honors Scholar stole as well.
