Recent ARCS Events

On Wednesday, November 13th, the 2024 ARCS Atlanta Scholar Awards Celebration (SAC) showcased the best of scientific scholarship in the beautiful ballroom of the Piedmont Driving Club.  The 2024 SAC was a networking reception and light lunch at which members, donors, and guests chatted informally with the scholars.  All scholars exhibited poster displays and guests were eager to learn about the scholars' research.  

ARCS Atlanta President Carolynn Cooper welcomed the scholars, guests and our 2024 presenting sponsor Roche Diagnostics.  A scholar representing each of our schools spoke briefly after which Morehouse President Dr. David Thomas spoke to donors and scholars thanking them for focusing on science.  

In 2024, ARCS Atlanta gave awards to 53 scholars in many different science disciplines from Emory, Georgia Tech, Morehouse, and UGA.
