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 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 Alum Alejandro Toriella, PhD, Assistant Professor, Industrial Engineering, Georgia Tech

Thank you very much for your support.  It meant a lot.  I had the opportunity to return to Tech as a faculty member last year.  I’m very happy to be back and hope I can advise a future ARCS scholar soon!
