ARCS Foundation has been a highlight of my academic career thus far, thank you for the support!
It was a beautiful Sunday evening for the 2023 Fall Party at the home of Carolynn Cooper and Pratap Mukharji. President Carolynn Cooper welcomed the group of 90 guests, and VP Membership Liz Lauer introduced seven of our twelve new members: Jamie Deeter, Laura Draper, Meg Heyer, Eileen Higgins, Debby Kelly, Niv Persaud and Kathryn Richard. We missed Meredith Bell, Lisa Brown, Maggie Joslin, Suzanne Sullivan and Macie Thompson, but look forward to welcoming them at our meeting in January. Many thanks to Special Events Chair Laura Pease and Chair-elect Tricia Rosenbaum who created this fabulous end of summer barbecue!

"Thank you dearly for your generous contribution to my scientific development. Your contribution has had a profound impact on me at both a personal and professional level. It is a privilege to be an ARCS Scholar, and with this support I will continue to pursue research that aims to advance Neuroscience."
"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."
