Recent ARCS Events

Nearly all of this year’s class of UW ARCS Scholars turned out to meet ARCS members, donors and each other at the Northwest African American Museum the evening of September 27, 2015. Each Fellow spoke briefly about their background and hopes and plans for research opportunities. Before the evening ended it was obvious that the students were already making cross-disciplinary connections based on shared interests in music, cooking, hiking and other extracurricular activities.
