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 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 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 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..."
