Recent ARCS Events

On Wednesday, November 13th, the 2024 ARCS Atlanta Scholar Awards Celebration (SAC) showcased the best of scientific scholarship in the beautiful ballroom of the Piedmont Driving Club.  The 2024 SAC was a networking reception and light lunch at which members, donors, and guests chatted informally with the scholars.  All scholars exhibited poster displays and guests were eager to learn about the scholars' research.  

ARCS Atlanta President Carolynn Cooper welcomed the scholars, guests and our 2024 presenting sponsor Roche Diagnostics.  A scholar representing each of our schools spoke briefly after which Morehouse President Dr. David Thomas spoke to donors and scholars thanking them for focusing on science.  

In 2024, ARCS Atlanta gave awards to 53 scholars in many different science disciplines from Emory, Georgia Tech, Morehouse, and UGA.

"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."

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 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.
