Events Highlights

Recent ARCS Events

In March of 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic dictated that there could be no in-person events and all events were held virtually.  The Fall Party was held via Zoom with games and breakout rooms to introduce our new members.  The Scholar Awards Celebration highlighted our scholars and several major donors.  There was also an excellent presentation by Dr. Ann Chahroudi on COVID-19 in Children. One very successful idea was Zoom conversations between Donors and their Scholars. Two examples of these Zoom conversations are below: 

  • ARCS Foundation Atlanta: Connecting Citizens to Scientists and Enabling Outstanding Scholars – Watch the video here

"I was very fortunate to be selected as one of this year's ARCS scholars... I plan to pursue an academic career in chemistry... Your support will allow me to continue my biomedical research in developing novel strateigies to treat drug resistant cancers and cardiovascular diseases... Again, thank you so much for your support of the sciences and post graduate education, both of which are very important in keeping America competitive..."
