2016 Spring Luncheon

ARCS Foundation Atlanta Chapter wrapped up its year by holding its annual meeting and luncheon on May 11 at the Piedmont Driving Club. Following Board Member reports and the introduction of the Board of Directors Slate for 2016-2017, Chapter President Jane Dolinger concluded the business portion of the meeting by turning the gavel over to incoming President Sara Jean Burke. Atlanta Chapter members and guests enjoyed chatting over a lovely lunch until the highlight of the gathering: a panel discussion with four current ARCS Scholars -- Anastasia Bobilev (UGA), Kerri Lynn Coon (UGA), Jason Frieman (Georgia Tech), and Jessica Petree (Emory University). Each of the presentations reinforced the commitment of audience members to the mission of ARCS Foundation and reminded them of potential outcomes of advancing science in America.

Thanks from Scholar Natale Sciolino

"Thank you dearly for your generous contribution to my scientific development. Your contribution has had a profound impact on me at both a personal and professional level. It is a privilege to be an ARCS Scholar, and with this support I will continue to pursue research that aims to advance Neuroscience."

Thanks from Alum Tim Sampson, Postdoctoral Scholar at Caltech

I am immensely grateful to the ARCS Foundation and Turner Enterprises for making my award possible. I am honored to have been part of the talented and promising group of young researchers from the Atlanta-area!

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."
