The Emory National Primate Research Center Field Station in Lawrenceville was the site of our Atlanta Chapter fall education event.  It was a beautiful October day for our outdoor tour of the facility.  We were welcomed by Dr. Paul Johnson, Primate Center Director, who shared interesting background information on the Center.  Dr. Johnson accompanied us on our tour, during which we visited three species of animals – chimpanzees, rhesus macaque monkeys, and sooty mangabey monkeys.  We heard from researchers who conduct behavioral studies with the animals and from the animals’ care and veterinary personnel.  The Emory National Primate Research Center is dedicated to discovering causes, preventions, treatments, and cures to improve human and animal health worldwide.

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.
