Recent ARCS Events

On November 17, 2022, over 200 people attended the reimagined ARCS Atlanta Scholar Awards Celebration in the beautiful atrium of the Parker H. Petit Institute for Bioengineering and Bioscience (IBB) at Georgia Tech.  The 2022 SAC was a networking reception and social at which members, donors, and guests chatted informally with scholars to learn about their research 

 In 2022, ARCS Atlanta has 52 Scholars in many different disciplines. Second- and third-year scholars exhibited poster displays in the atrium of the IBB. The first-year scholars networked and chatted informally with guests.  The University of Georgia (UGA) was our 2022 featured school.  A video loop introduced each scholar and highlighted ARCS Atlanta and UGA.  

 ARCS Atlanta President Sara Jean Burke made brief remarks welcoming our scholars and guests and thanked Georgia Tech for hosting this event and allowing access to their beautiful facility and campus.  A brilliant congratulatory video from UGA President Jere Morehead, was appreciated by all.   

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..."
