Alumnae Achievement

uccess starts with being comfortable in your own skin,” says a recent Emma Willard graduate. Whether reforming state law, studying tropical rain forests, leading their communities, publishing landmark research, producing the nightly news, delivering babies, or raising children, our alumnae possess the key ingredients for success: self-awareness, intelligence, and the confidence to face change. They go on from Emma Willard to become accomplished actors, lawyers, writers, doctors, teachers, civic and business leaders, researchers, entrepreneurs—you name it. Emma Willard graduates are making their mark around the globe. Armed with an Emma education, they are women of vision, initiative, and generosity of spirit.

Emma Willard alumnae return to the campus often, whether for Revels and reunions, or simply to visit teachers and friends. They share their stories and successes in EMMA, the school magazine, and online. They’re active in the Alumnae Association and keep a strong connection with other Emma grads.

More than 7,000 strong, Emma Willard women are transforming every facet of this rapidly changing world. Because they can.
