2023 Education Event at Zoo Atlanta

On March 15th, nearly 40 ARCS members and guests attended an ARCS Educational Event in Savanna Hall at Zoo Atlanta. After being greeted by Ambassador Animals, we enjoyed lunch and a presentation by Dr. Sam Rivera, Senior Director of Veterinary Services at Zoo Atlanta. Following lunch, there was an elephant care demonstration featuring Msholo the Elephant and an optional guided walking tour of the zoo.

"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.
