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:

Let me start by saying how thankful I am for being selected as an ARCS scholar. I consider it one of my greatest achievements thus far and I am immensely proud to count myself as one of the amazing group of students that your organization selected to receive this award. I want you ladies to know you are doing an outstanding job! You all are embarked on a truly altruistic endeavor and it is my fervent prayer that this organization thrives for years to come.
