Over 70 ARCS members and their guests came together for our Annual Membership Meeting on May 8, 2024, at Ansley Golf Club. The fascinating program was put together by Barbara Bazzel and expertly moderated by Bill Liss. It featured three of our current ARCS Scholars, Nicole Hood (Epidemiology – Emory), Tawfik Hussein (Biomedical Engineering – Georgia Tech), and Logan Kavanaugh (Microbiology and Molecular Genetics – Emory), discussing their current research and its relevance to our lives.
The program was followed by our May board meeting. A highlight of the meeting was the recognition of Marcia and John Donnell for their commitment to ARCS and their support of a full scholar award for 25 years. Thank you, Marcia and John!
Thanks from Alum Tim Sampson, Postdoctoral Scholar at Caltech
I am immensely grateful to the ARCS Foundation and Turner Enterprises for making my award possible. I am honored to have been part of the talented and promising group of young researchers from the Atlanta-area!
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 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..."
