2016 Donor Appreciation Event @ Emory University

On Wednesday, March 30, the Atlanta Chapter of ARCS Foundation honored its Century level donors and above at its second annual Donor Appreciation Reception. Emory University President Jim Wagner and Debbie Wagner hosted the event at the Miller-Ward Alumni House on the Emory University campus. Attendees included current Emory University ARCS Scholars, advisors, and Dr. Michael Zwick, Assistant Professor in the Departments of Human Genetics and Pediatrics at Emory University, Assistant Dean of Research at the Emory University School of Medicine, and Assistant Vice President for Research at the Robert W. Woodruff Health Sciences Center. Dr. Zwick, an ARCS Scholar at the University of California at Davis during the 1997-1998 academic year, described the importance of the financial support and encouragement provided by ARCS Foundation to our nation's future scientists. Donors enjoyed the beautiful setting, the delicious refreshments and, most of all, having an opportunity to chat informally with ARCS Scholars, Emory University professors and administrators, and each other.

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."

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!
