The Scholar Awards Reception (SAR) will be held on Thurs, Oct 23, at 6:30 pm, at the National Academy of Sciences. Invitations were mailed and sent electronically on Aug 25. The ticket price will be $75 again this year, a testament to the invaluable support of our generous SAR Sponsors. We extend our sincere gratitude to Georgetown University for sponsoring a pre-reception for our scholars and scholar alumni. Additionally, we extend our profound appreciation to the National Academy of Sciences and Dr. Marcia McNutt for graciously hosting us at their esteemed building.

Our featured speaker is ARCS MWC Member and Scholar Alumna Dr. Kristen Bloschock. Kristen is Senior Program Manager within the Card Partnerships Operations group at Capital One. She previously served as a manager in the Digital Transformation Office at Lockheed Martin. Kristen received a Bachelor of Science degree in physics from the University of Notre Dame, and a Master’s Degree and PhD in physics from Georgetown University.
