Emma Reynolds Circle

In 1895, Emma Ann Reynolds became the first African American woman to graduate from Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine. In honor of her legacy, the Emma Reynolds Circle was formed to create a sense of community for African American women students, residents, fellows and physicians at Feinberg.

Current initiatives include fostering mentoring relationships and building community through social events.
