2021 Fall Party

It was a crisp fall evening for the 2021 Fall Party at the home of Leslie and Skip Petter. With nearly 100 guests attending, the party was a joyous outdoor gathering to celebrate the beginning of the new ARCS year and to welcome our four outstanding new members Barbara Bazzel, Beth Cabrera, Rebecca Gupta, and Gina Lim.

President Leslie Petter welcomed the group and VP Membership Patty Reid introduced the new members. Special Events Chair Betsy Kazazian and Chair-elect Ann Taylor created a fabulous Fete Française which was beautifully carried out by Mary Hataway’s Soiree Catering and Events.

Thanks from Scholar Natale Sciolino

"Thank you dearly for your generous contribution to my scientific development. Your contribution has had a profound impact on me at both a personal and professional level. It is a privilege to be an ARCS Scholar, and with this support I will continue to pursue research that aims to advance Neuroscience."

Thanks from Alum Tim Sampson, Postdoctoral Scholar at Caltech

I am immensely grateful to the ARCS Foundation and Turner Enterprises for making my award possible. I am honored to have been part of the talented and promising group of young researchers from the Atlanta-area!

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!"
