    Standing on her Shoulders 
    Celebrating Meta L. Christy, DO, and African American Alumnae Trailblazers


    February 16, 2021

    There is at once great wisdom and humility in acknowledging that we all stand on the shoulders of those who have gone before us.

    In the vignettes that follow, seven African American alumnae share their experiences—personal and professional. They are courageous, determined and empowered women. And they are among those who proudly stand on Dr. Meta Christy’s shoulders.
