ARCS Light recipients are symbols of success within their chapters by promoting the ARCS mission of advancing science in America. ARCS Light recipients enthusiastically give their time and expertise to support their chapters and are the unsung heroes of the ARCS Foundation.

This year’s recipient of Metro Washington Chapter’s ARCS Light award is Anne Wingo! Her quiet, but steadfast demeanor and commitment to the scholars we support has been apparent since she became a member. Her three children have pursued scientific and medical careers themselves, following their parents’ commitment to military service and public health. She has shared her gift for mentorship and enthusiasm for advanced STEM education with our scholars since becoming a member in 2016 and has recently completed a long tenure as co-Chair of the University Relations Council. Congratulations, Anne!
