2020 Events

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

  • Fall Party 

  • Scholar Awards Celebration 2020 – Watch the video here

  • “COVID-19 in Children and the Path to Normality” Dr. Ann Chahroudi – Watch the video here 

  • BlackRock Conversation with their Scholars – Watch the video here 

  • Northside Hospital Conversation with their Scholars –  Watch the video here

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!"

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 ARCS Atlanta Scholar Alum Deborah Kilpatrick, CEO Evidation Health

The work you (ARCS Foundation Atlanta members) have all done is tremendous, and I am so proud to be a part of that legacy.  I hope that my work is making you all feel that there has been a good return on your investment.
