The Annual Meeting held on May 6, 2026 at the Cherokee Town Club was an impressive demonstration of the brilliance of our ARCS Atlanta Scholars. The topic of the afternoon, “Regenerative BioScience for Health and Longevity” was hosted by a panel of four current UGA Scholars, Christina Endara-Arnold, Skylar Settles, Jordan Parker and Moira Taber. They each spoke about their specific areas of research in the field of Regenerative Bioscience, as well as the importance of the ARCS Award in their careers. Dr. Morgane Golan, a former ARCS Scholar, was the spectacular moderator. The meeting concluded with our Board Meeting and a delicious lunch. Many thanks to our Speakers Chair, Barbara Bing, and our Special Events Chair, Cathey Millichap, and Co-Chair, Betts Love.

"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."
