Thanks from Alum Eliot Quon, Postdoctoral Researcher at National Renewable Energy Laboratory
ARCS Foundation has been a highlight of my academic career thus far, thank you for the support!
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.

"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."
"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!"
