2015 Fall Cocktail Party

The Atlanta Chapter of ARCS Foundation held its annual Fall Cocktail Party on Sunday, September 27th, the night of the Super Blood Moon eclipse! Although it had rained earlier in the day, more than 100 members and guests were able to spend the lovely fall evening together mingling outdoors. Chapter President, Jane Dolinger, welcomed everyone and thanked our hosts, Leslie and Skip Petter, for their generosity and willingness to share their home with us once again. The remainder of the program focused on VP for Membership, Sally Hinkle, who introduced our special guests: 7 of the Chapter's 8 new members.

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 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!
