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!

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.
