Women Make History
The close of 2011 marked the conclusion of Emory's 175th anniversary celebration. Among the ways Emory chose to commemorate its birthday was by creating a list of especially noteworthy people who have been affiliated with the university.
The list contained the many women who, from Emory's earliest days, had a great deal of influence with regard to its growth, reputation, and stature. Among them is Catherine Andrew Boyd, also known as "Kitty," the woman whose enslavement precipitated a break in Emory's founding United Methodist Church that lasted nearly a century. More recently, a commitment to serving others led students Debbie Genzer and Wendy Rosenberg Nadel, Emory College Class of 1982, to found Volunteer Emory—a campus stalwart that is still going strong more than three decades later.
