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."
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!

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.
"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!"
