Renew Membership

SCIENCE IS THE SOLUTION!

It is time to reinvest in ARCS and you are needed now more than ever!

We are asking you to renew your membership and continue to fund our amazing scholar-scientists. Our university partners are experiencing extreme financial stress which limits their ability to be of aid to their students. Thus, your commitment is needed more than ever. When you renew your membership, please consider an additional donation to support these brilliant men and women. It is to these great minds that we will turn in future times of crisis. Innovations in science, engineering, and medical research are all key to fighting this pandemic and making a safer world in the future for all of us and for generations to come.

COVID-19 has changed and challenged all of our lives. ARCS is not exempt. Because of these unprecedented and unparalleled times, the board has made the decision to postpone our Annual Meeting in May, cancel the Summer Party in July, and the SAL fundraiser scheduled for October 22, 2020. You will be receiving regular updates on the status of these events as well as new online connections and events with members and scholars. The first of these will be our May 19th virtual program with Dr. Phil Mote from OSU. Watch for coming notices!

Hear from a fellow chapter member and our own virologist, Nancy Haigwood of OHSU, on the impact of COVID-19 and how you can help ARCS Oregon. 

Thank you for renewing your membership and considering a donation to support ARCS. We so appreciate your membership and your generosity. May you and those closest to you stay healthy.
