ARCS Foundation members and their husbands travelled to Washington, D.C. for a fabulous ARCS Retreat on April 24 – 28, 2024. We stayed at the historic and beautifully reimagined Willard Hotel and enjoyed amazing insider tours at the Hillwood Estate & Gardens, the Children’s National Research and Innovation Campus, NTI - the global nuclear threat initiative think tank, as well as dinners with National Institute of Health research scientists and early morning access to the Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture. We heard from nationally renowned speakers who gave us new insights into current security initiatives, scientific and medical research, and museums of historical prominence. Our perfect ending was a private-chartered dinner cruise on the Potomac River. Thank you to Liz Troy and Janis Henry for planning this remarkable retreat to Washington, D.C.
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!
Thanks from Scholar Kevin Yehl
"I was very fortunate to be selected as one of this year's ARCS scholars... I plan to pursue an academic career in chemistry... Your support will allow me to continue my biomedical research in developing novel strateigies to treat drug resistant cancers and cardiovascular diseases... Again, thank you so much for your support of the sciences and post graduate education, both of which are very important in keeping America competitive..."
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."
