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.

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.
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!
