Recent ARCS Events

ARCS Atlanta members gathered at the home of Leslie and Skip Petter to celebrate our new members and kick off the 2017 - 2018 year.  As always, Leslie and Skip were gracious hosts and everyone enjoyed catching up after the summer in their beautiful home and garden.  A buffet dinner, catered by member Mary Hataway's company, Soiree, was delicious.

Membership VP Frances Swensson presented the six new members.  She gave us highlights of their resumés and everyone was quite impressed. Please read more about them in the fall issue of ARChives, our chapter newsletter.

Thanks from Scholar Laura Redmond

"I want to thank you again for supporting my career development, and I look forward to encouraging the development of future scientists as an ARCS Scholar Alum."

Thanks from Alum Tim Sampson, Postdoctoral Scholar at Caltech

I am immensely grateful to the ARCS Foundation and Turner Enterprises for making my award possible. I am honored to have been part of the talented and promising group of young researchers from the Atlanta-area!

Thanks from Alum Collette Miller, Postdoctoral Fellow at US Environmental Protection Agency

"Thank you all for reaching out and the support over the years. It's been a rocky few years following the passing of my doctoral research mentor a few weeks prior to my dissertation defense. Trying to rebound from his loss, finishing my dissertation, and figuring out where to go from there was challenging to say the least ... Thank you again for your support. Honestly I did not know how much I would have ended up relying on the generous gift that the Atlanta Chapter of ARCS Foundation provided when it was first received. However, it was vital in helping me launch a new chapter in my career when I found my plans collapse when my mentor passed. Again, THANK YOU!"
