Recent ARCS Events

On November 17, 2022, over 200 people attended the reimagined ARCS Atlanta Scholar Awards Celebration in the beautiful atrium of the Parker H. Petit Institute for Bioengineering and Bioscience (IBB) at Georgia Tech.  The 2022 SAC was a networking reception and social at which members, donors, and guests chatted informally with scholars to learn about their research 

 In 2022, ARCS Atlanta has 52 Scholars in many different disciplines. Second- and third-year scholars exhibited poster displays in the atrium of the IBB. The first-year scholars networked and chatted informally with guests.  The University of Georgia (UGA) was our 2022 featured school.  A video loop introduced each scholar and highlighted ARCS Atlanta and UGA.  

 ARCS Atlanta President Sara Jean Burke made brief remarks welcoming our scholars and guests and thanked Georgia Tech for hosting this event and allowing access to their beautiful facility and campus.  A brilliant congratulatory video from UGA President Jere Morehead, was appreciated by all.   

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!

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 Courtney Pollard, III, MD, PhD, MedStar Harbor Hospital, Baltimore

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.
