January Membership Meeting and Luncheon

On January 10, 2018, our Winter Meeting and Luncheon was held at the Woodruff Arts Center.   Our speaker was Dr. Wally Curran, Executive Director of the Winship Cancer Center at Emory University.   As is our tradition, the ARCS Light for 2018 was announced.  The membership was asked to submit nominations which were then voted on by the past ARCS Lights.   Susan Higley is this year's ARCS Light.  Gracia Conn, last year's ARCS Light presented the award to Susan.

Thanks from Scholar Laura Redmond

"I want to thank you again for supporting my career development, and I look forward to encouraging the development of future scientists as an ARCS Scholar Alum."

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 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..."
