Events Highlights

Recent ARCS Events

It was a beautiful Sunday evening for the 2023 Fall Party at the home of Carolynn Cooper and Pratap Mukharji.  President Carolynn Cooper welcomed the group of 90 guests, and VP Membership Liz Lauer introduced seven of our twelve new members: Jamie Deeter, Laura Draper, Meg Heyer, Eileen Higgins, Debby Kelly, Niv Persaud and Kathryn Richard.  We missed Meredith Bell, Lisa Brown, Maggie Joslin, Suzanne Sullivan and Macie Thompson, but look forward to welcoming them at our meeting in January.  Many thanks to Special Events Chair Laura Pease and Chair-elect Tricia Rosenbaum who created this fabulous end of summer barbecue!

Thanks from Alum Eliot Quon, Postdoctoral Researcher at National Renewable Energy Laboratory

ARCS Foundation has been a highlight of my academic career thus far, thank you for the support!

Thanks from Alum Collette Miller, Postdoctoral Fellow at US Environmental Protection Agency

"Thank you all for reaching out and the support over the years. It's been a rocky few years following the passing of my doctoral research mentor a few weeks prior to my dissertation defense. Trying to rebound from his loss, finishing my dissertation, and figuring out where to go from there was challenging to say the least ... Thank you again for your support. Honestly I did not know how much I would have ended up relying on the generous gift that the Atlanta Chapter of ARCS Foundation provided when it was first received. However, it was vital in helping me launch a new chapter in my career when I found my plans collapse when my mentor passed. Again, THANK YOU!"

Thanks from Scholar Natale Sciolino

"Thank you dearly for your generous contribution to my scientific development. Your contribution has had a profound impact on me at both a personal and professional level. It is a privilege to be an ARCS Scholar, and with this support I will continue to pursue research that aims to advance Neuroscience."
