Recent ARCS Events

Approximately 65 ARCS members and their guests came together for our Annual Membership Meeting on May 3, 2023, at the Piedmont Driving Club.  We were delighted that two of our university first ladies attended, honorary ARCS member Beth Cabrera of Georgia Tech and Carmel Fenves of Emory.

Our distinguished speaker was Dr. Anant Madabhushi from Emory University School of Medicine.  Dr. Madabhushi is a global leader in developing artificial intelligence to improve outcomes for individuals with cancer and other diseases. 

A highlight of the meeting was the recognition of Jeanne Berry’s 90th birthday.  Her daughter Marie Berry attended, and all joined in singing “Happy Birthday.”  To commemorate Jeanne’s special birthday, donations are being raised to fund an ARCS scholar in Jeanne’s name for 2023.  At the end of the meeting, Sara Jean passed the President’s gavel to Carolynn Cooper.  A special thanks to Sara Jean for stepping into the President’s role this past year!  We should all remember Sara Jean’s quote “Volunteers are not paid because they are worthless - but because they are priceless!”

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!

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 Scholar Kevin Yehl

"I was very fortunate to be selected as one of this year's ARCS scholars... I plan to pursue an academic career in chemistry... Your support will allow me to continue my biomedical research in developing novel strateigies to treat drug resistant cancers and cardiovascular diseases... Again, thank you so much for your support of the sciences and post graduate education, both of which are very important in keeping America competitive..."
