Recent ARCS Events

Approximately 65 ARCS members and their guests came together for our Annual Membership Meeting on May 3, 2023, at the Piedmont Driving Club.  We were delighted that two of our university first ladies attended, honorary ARCS member Beth Cabrera of Georgia Tech and Carmel Fenves of Emory.

Our distinguished speaker was Dr. Anant Madabhushi from Emory University School of Medicine.  Dr. Madabhushi is a global leader in developing artificial intelligence to improve outcomes for individuals with cancer and other diseases. 

A highlight of the meeting was the recognition of Jeanne Berry’s 90th birthday.  Her daughter Marie Berry attended, and all joined in singing “Happy Birthday.”  To commemorate Jeanne’s special birthday, donations are being raised to fund an ARCS scholar in Jeanne’s name for 2023.  At the end of the meeting, Sara Jean passed the President’s gavel to Carolynn Cooper.  A special thanks to Sara Jean for stepping into the President’s role this past year!  We should all remember Sara Jean’s quote “Volunteers are not paid because they are worthless - but because they are priceless!”

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..."

Thanks from ARCS Atlanta Scholar Alum Deborah Kilpatrick, CEO Evidation Health

The work you (ARCS Foundation Atlanta members) have all done is tremendous, and I am so proud to be a part of that legacy.  I hope that my work is making you all feel that there has been a good return on your investment.

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!
