Recent ARCS Events

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 Scholar Kevin Yehl

"I was very fortunate to be selected as one of this year's ARCS scholars... I plan to pursue an academic career in chemistry... Your support will allow me to continue my biomedical research in developing novel strateigies to treat drug resistant cancers and cardiovascular diseases... Again, thank you so much for your support of the sciences and post graduate education, both of which are very important in keeping America competitive..."

Thanks from Alum Tim Sampson, Postdoctoral Scholar at Caltech

I am immensely grateful to the ARCS Foundation and Turner Enterprises for making my award possible. I am honored to have been part of the talented and promising group of young researchers from the Atlanta-area!

Thanks from Scholar Kira Newman

"I can only begin to express how grateful I am for the freedom to pursue an independent line of research without having to worry about how I will pay for the necessary lab supplies or training. This award is allowing me to answer broader and more valuable questions than I had previously thought possible... Thank you so much for your kindness, generosity, and belief in my potential as a scientist."
