Emma Ann Reynolds Circle

The Emma Ann Reynolds Circle of the Feinberg School of Medicine was established to build community and provide support for those in the medical profession while honoring the legacy of Emma Ann Reynolds, the first African American woman to graduate from Feinberg in 1895 and a trailblazer for women of color in medicine.

Open to individuals who support and advance this legacy, the circle has introduced several initiatives aimed at fostering mentoring relationships and creating opportunities for connection and career development at Feinberg. The circle’s board members, listed below, are influential campus leaders dedicated to providing mentorship and guidance.
