Recent ARCS Events

ARCS spring retreat in New Orleans was a wonderful combination of good food, good fellowship and interesting science.  Our focus was the effect of Hurricane Katrina on this historic city, its many issues involved with water, and the efforts to rebuild the man-made elements while protecting the ecology of the area.  Evenings were devoted to cocktails, dinner and jazz.  Everyone agreed that visiting the World War II Museum was one of the highlights of the trip.

Some of our group stayed an extra day and journeyed to LIGO on Monday for a special tour.  Located about 85 miles from NOLA., LIGO is at the cutting edge of physics and astronomy.  Their  collaborators won the 2017 Nobel Prize in physics for the detection of gravitational waves from merging black holes and merging neutron stars.

ARCS Foundation has been a highlight of my academic career thus far, thank you for the support!

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 Natale Sciolino

"Thank you dearly for your generous contribution to my scientific development. Your contribution has had a profound impact on me at both a personal and professional level. It is a privilege to be an ARCS Scholar, and with this support I will continue to pursue research that aims to advance Neuroscience."
