Georgia Tech Hosts ARCS Atlanta for an Educational Tour and Silver Anniversary Luncheon
Georgia Institute of Technology hosted the Atlanta Chapter of ARCS for a tour of their new Engineered Biosystems Building and presentations by some of the researchers there. The new building features 200,000 square feet of technologically advanced laboratories and open floorplan office space to encourage collaboration between researchers across disciplinary boundries. Partnerships between faculty from Sciences, Engineering, Computing, and ultimately all Colleges, and between Georgia Tech researchers and those from Emory University, Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta, and other institutions will enable cutting edge research in biomedicine and biotechnology.
Thanks from Alum Courtney Pollard, III, MD, PhD, MedStar Harbor Hospital, Baltimore
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 Scholar Laura Redmond
"I want to thank you again for supporting my career development, and I look forward to encouraging the development of future scientists as an ARCS Scholar Alum."
Thanks from Alum Collette Miller, Postdoctoral Fellow at US Environmental Protection Agency
"Thank you all for reaching out and the support over the years. It's been a rocky few years following the passing of my doctoral research mentor a few weeks prior to my dissertation defense. Trying to rebound from his loss, finishing my dissertation, and figuring out where to go from there was challenging to say the least ... Thank you again for your support. Honestly I did not know how much I would have ended up relying on the generous gift that the Atlanta Chapter of ARCS Foundation provided when it was first received. However, it was vital in helping me launch a new chapter in my career when I found my plans collapse when my mentor passed. Again, THANK YOU!"
