January 2018 Membership Meeting and Luncheon

January Membership Meeting and Luncheon

On January 10, 2018, our Winter Meeting and Luncheon was held at the Woodruff Arts Center. Our speaker was Dr. Wally Curran, Executive Director of the Winship Cancer Center at Emory University. As is our tradition, the ARCS Light for 2018 was announced. The membership was asked to submit nominations which were then voted on by the past ARCS Lights. Susan Higley is this year's ARCS Light. Gracia Conn, last year's ARCS Light presented the award to Susan.

Following the meeting and luncheon, Carolynn Cooper arrange for members to have a guided tour of one of the current exhibits: Al Taylor, What Are You Looking At?

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 Scholar Kira Newman

"I can only begin to express how grateful I am for the freedom to pursue an independent line of research without having to worry about how I will pay for the necessary lab supplies or training. This award is allowing me to answer broader and more valuable questions than I had previously thought possible... Thank you so much for your kindness, generosity, and belief in my potential as a scientist."

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.
