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.

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.

Thanks from ARCS Atlanta Scholar Alum Deborah Kilpatrick, CEO Evidation Health

The work you (ARCS Foundation Atlanta members) have all done is tremendous, and I am so proud to be a part of that legacy.  I hope that my work is making you all feel that there has been a good return on your investment.
