On Wednesday, November 12th, the 2025 ARCS Atlanta Scholar Awards Celebration (SAC) showcased the best of scientific scholarship in the beautiful ballroom of the Piedmont Driving Club.  The 2025 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 their research.

Laney School of Graduate Studies at Emory University, Dr. Kimberly Jacob Arriola spoke to donors and scholars thanking them for their support of science.

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 Scholar Laura Redmond

"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 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!"
