Thanks from Alum Eliot Quon, Postdoctoral Researcher at National Renewable Energy Laboratory
ARCS Foundation has been a highlight of my academic career thus far, thank you for the support!
The COVID-19 pandemic continued into 2022, and we began the year with a virtual General Membership meeting in January. At the end of our board meeting, Dr. Alexis Noel, a Research Engineer at the Georgia Tech Research Institute Aerospace, Transportation and Advanced Systems Laboratory, spoke to us about her research in biomimicry and haptic feedback technologies, which involve being able to interact with objects in virtual reality.

ARCS Foundation has been a highlight of my academic career thus far, thank you for the support!
"Thank you all for reaching out and the support over the years. It's been a rocky few years following the passing of my doctoral research mentor a few weeks prior to my dissertation defense. Trying to rebound from his loss, finishing my dissertation, and figuring out where to go from there was challenging to say the least ... Thank you again for your support. Honestly I did not know how much I would have ended up relying on the generous gift that the Atlanta Chapter of ARCS Foundation provided when it was first received. However, it was vital in helping me launch a new chapter in my career when I found my plans collapse when my mentor passed. Again, THANK YOU!"
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!
