National Academy of Sciences

This premier event honors and celebrates the prestigious incoming cohort of 22 ARCS MWC Scholars pursuing significant research in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) at our five partner universities (identified below). 
The event underscores the importance of ARCS MWC funding in today’s changing financial landscape for scientists and engineers. Moreover, the sustained technical leadership of our keynote speaker, an ARCS MWC Scholar Alum, illustrates the impact that ARCS support has on U.S. innovation, competitiveness, and national security. Attend this event to learn more about ARCS MWC and STEM philanthropy! 
A reception highlighted by a poster session showcasing each Scholar’s cutting-edge research will open the event. ARCS MWC is extremely pleased to welcome Dr. Gurpartap “GP” Sandhoo as the 2026 SAR keynote speaker. Dr. Sandhoo is the Director of the Space Development Agency and the Space Force Portfolio Acquisition Executive for Missile Warning and Tracking. A renowned national security and technology leader across the private and public sectors, he is a veteran of more than 36 years in the U.S. Navy and U.S. Marine Corps. Dr. Sandhoo was an ARCS MWC Scholar during 1995-97 while he was earning his DSc at The George Washington University. In his keynote presentation, he will discuss his career and how ARCS made a difference, both while he was a scholar and now. Co-Presidents Julie Hohl and Jane Riddle say “Dr. Sandhoo’s career reflects the heights our Scholar Alums reach as leaders advancing U.S. competitiveness and national security, emphasizing the continuing importance of the ARCS MWC mission, particularly now given reduced U.S. funding for science and engineering.”
More information about the event and registration can be found at <a href="https://www.RSVPtoARCS-MWC.org" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">www.RSVPtoARCS-MWC.org</a>.ARCS MWC, chartered in 1968, has donated $9.3 million through 825 Scholar awards at its five local partner universities, forwarding 100% of corporate, foundation, and individual donations each year to chapter Scholars. ARCS MWC enables innovative STEM inventions in areas such as biomedical research, space exploration, and computing complexity (among others), advancing U.S. competitiveness.&nbsp;Contact: Co-Presidents Julie Hohl and Jane Riddle, <a href="mailto:mwcpresident@arcsfoundation.org">mwcpresident@arcsfoundation.org</a>

American Argentinian-born singer-songwriter <a href="https://youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_k3-dckvgtXrRH3g6Ktnrnzba5yWtko7dU&amp;si=zJOhw08-0813Tusn" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Valeria Stewart</a>&nbsp;blends Latin American traditions, folk, jazz, and Americana in songs that bridge cultures and languages. Born in Buenos Aires and raised in the Washington, DC area, she brings an intimate presence to the stage, performing in English and Spanish.
Stewart recently won two Wammie Awards for Best World Album and Best World Artist. Her album Raíces spent three consecutive months at #1 on the World Music chart and reached the Top 10 on the Latin Jazz chart. Her latest album, On A Wing, continues her exploration of her American and Argentine roots through stories that blend love, nature, identity, and nostalgia.
“There is a hushed intimacy in her delivery, as though each lyric were written to be shared around a quiet fire or during a late evening walk through the city.” — Iggy Mag (FR)

The two formally launched Rye Valley in 2021 to showcase the pairing of Auerbach’s heartfelt songwriting and soulful tenor with Kearns’s percussive multi-instrumentalism and subtle harmonies. Tyler Lobdell’s guitar wizardry brought a trio to life, further honing the emotive “Rye Valley Sound”. In the fall of ’24 and again in the winter of ’25, the Rye Valley Trio toured as opening support for legendary singer/songwriter Clem Snide (Eef Barzelay), performing to audiences in 24 cities across the USA. Rye Valley continues to embark on journeys across the USA &amp; beyond. The sun is shining bright on Rye Valley.&nbsp;
