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.

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!

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.
