Recent ARCS Events

The 2023 ARCS Atlanta Scholar Awards Celebration (SAC) was a glorious recognition of scientific scholarship in the beautiful atrium of the Parker H. Petit Institute for Bioengineering and Bioscience (IBB) at Georgia Tech.  The 2023 SAC was a networking reception at which members, donors, and guests chatted informally with scholars to learn about their research.

ARCS Atlanta President Carolynn Cooper welcomed our scholars and guests and thanked Georgia Tech for hosting this event.  A scholar representing each of our schools spoke briefly, after which Georgia Tech President Angel Cabrera gave a brilliant speech on the importance of science and the ARCS mission.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wLQSSp7yWzY  

In 2023, ARCS Atlanta gave awards to 49 scholars in many different disciplines from Emory, Georgia Tech, Morehouse and UGA.  All scholars exhibited poster displays in the atrium of the IBB.  A video “Igniting Innovation in Georgia” highlighted the history of ARCS and introduced each scholar.

"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 Alum Courtney Pollard, III, MD, PhD, MedStar Harbor Hospital, Baltimore

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.
