In October 2024, ARCS members and their guests had the rare opportunity to see the private collection of Sue and John Wieland at The Warehouse in the Westside District. This was an especially meaningful field trip for ARCS members, as many of us remember Sue Wieland as a friend and former ARCS member. Debbie Liss opened the tour with her warm recollections of Sue Wieland.
The collection includes painting, photography, sculpture, installation art, and works on paper focusing on images and ideas of house and home, reflecting John Wieland’s career in homebuilding. At the end of our tour, we were treated to an elegant and delicious lunch, giving us a chance to visit with each other and to discuss the many intriguing and thought-provoking works of art.
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.
Thanks from Alum Collette Miller, Postdoctoral Fellow at US Environmental Protection Agency
"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!"
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!
