The COVID-19 pandemic continued into 2021, requiring us to continue to hold all our events virtually. The year began with the January General Membership meeting at which our ARCS Atlanta scholar, Kantwon Rogers engaged our members with an informative and entertaining talk on his research involving artificial intelligence in robots and human-robot interaction.
In March, we had an excellent education program entitled “Pracademics amidst Pandemic: RSPH Support of Georgia's COVID-19 Response” by Dr. Allison Chamberlain. Her presentation updated us on the COVID-19 response in Georgia and how the Rollins School of Public Health used their academic talents to assist.
At our Annual Meeting in May, Dr. Beth Cabrera gave her audience valuable tips on how to use our experience during the pandemic to build a better life going forward.

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!
Thanks from Scholar Natale Sciolino
