Herman L. Reese Community Service Award
The Herman L. Reese Community Service Award is given to students who serve Emory and make significant contributions to the black community at Emory and greater Atlanta. Created in 1985 by Rosetta Gooden, a former senior associate dean of admission at Emory College, the award commemorates and honors Herman L. Reese, former director of financial aid at Emory. Reese is best remembered for his dedication to students, his commitment to providing financial assistance and vocational opportunities, and his concern for academic and personal success.

How to Give
Many students have benefited from receiving the Herman L. Reese Community Service Award, and we hope to recognize many more. However, we need your support to continue to honor these outstanding students, encouraging community service and respecting those who have paved the way for us. If funds raised are sufficient to support the creation of a named endowment, the Herman L. Reese Award will be converted to an endowed award at that time. Donate online today!
