2020 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:

Thanks from Scholar Natale Sciolino

"Thank you dearly for your generous contribution to my scientific development. Your contribution has had a profound impact on me at both a personal and professional level. It is a privilege to be an ARCS Scholar, and with this support I will continue to pursue research that aims to advance Neuroscience."

Thanks from Scholar Kira Newman

"I can only begin to express how grateful I am for the freedom to pursue an independent line of research without having to worry about how I will pay for the necessary lab supplies or training. This award is allowing me to answer broader and more valuable questions than I had previously thought possible... Thank you so much for your kindness, generosity, and belief in my potential as a scientist."

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."
