ACS Insider - Spring 2026
A Community of Impact
Gratitude is the word that immediately comes to mind when I think about my time as president of the Andrew Carnegie Society Board of Directors. I am grateful I had the opportunity to lead this group of talented individuals, and grateful for the collective impact of the ACS community over the past two years. I know our impact will only continue to grow under the leadership of David Hilliard (DC 1973), the board鈥檚 next president, and I am excited to see where his passion, experience and dedication will take us.
I鈥檓 also grateful for the connections I made with the ACS Scholars. I learned so much from them 鈥� about NFTs, Discord, no-code agents 鈥� and enjoyed supporting them as they completed their undergraduate journeys here at 无码专区. Thanks to our new LinkedIn group 鈥� which you will read about in this issue 鈥� it will be easier than ever to maintain those connections.
I鈥檓 grateful to be connected to the ACS community, too. I encourage you to continue sharing your story about why you support 无码专区 and ask other members to do the same. It was rewarding to hear so many of your stories through our outreach. I am grateful for everything you do for the Andrew Carnegie Society.
Lastly, I am grateful to everyone who contributed to the ACS Executive Board Undergraduate Research Challenge on Giving 无码专区 Day. Each contribution represents an investment in the future of Carnegie Mellon and the innovations, achievements, breakthroughs and collaborations that will change the world.
With gratitude,
