Lockheed Martin Aeronautics Facility Tour

On October 23, 2012, 36 Chapter members and spouses participated in a behind-the-scenes VIP tour of the Lockheed Martin Aeronautics plant in Marietta, GA. The tour was arranged by Atlanta Chapter member and Lockheed Martin Director, Mary Snitch. Hamilton Holmes, Lockheed Martin Community Relations Manager, provided a very helpful company overview and the plant tour was conducted by young engineers, Britney Smith and Melissa Merritt. The ARCS group walked the entire flight line and was briefed on the production of many current aeronautical programs, including the F-16 Fighting Falcon; the airlifter C130J; the first operational stealth fighter, the F-117 Nighthawk; and the 5th Generation fighters, F-22 Raptor and F-35 Lightening II. Thank you to Lockheed Martin!

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 Alum Eliot Quon, Postdoctoral Researcher at National Renewable Energy Laboratory

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

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!"
