At just 23, Emma Rubin left a lasting impact on the people around her through her kindness, determination, and passion for helping others. The Emma Effect is a way to celebrate her life and carry that spirit forward. Bringing friends, family, and our community together through a memorial walk in her honor. Please join us on October 26th for a walk around the national mall to honor Emma, and please wear teal/blue to raise awareness for ovarian cancer.

Together, we’ll celebrate the memories Emma gave us and the ways she continues to inspire us. Whether you walk or donate, you’re helping turn our love for Emma into something meaningful.

Thank you for helping us celebrate Emma’s beautiful spirit and the difference one person can make.

Remembering Emma every step of the way.🩵

It is with deep sorrow and heavy hearts that we share the passing of Emma Rubin, a beloved friend and second-year GW Physical Therapy student in the Class of 2028, following a courageous battle with ovarian cancer.

During her time at GW, Emma was truly the cheerleader of her cohort. From making turkey cut outs with baby faces for the Turkey Trot to showing up with posters to support her classmates during intramural basketball, Emma had a special way of making everyone feel seen, supported, and cared for. She was always checking in on others, asking how they were doing, and offering encouragement when it was needed most.

Her kindness and genuine compassion touched so many of us, and she brought a warmth and positivity to the program that can never be replaced. Emma embodied everything it means to be a physical therapist, not just through her passion for the profession, but through the way she cared for those around her. She would have made an incredible PT, and the impact she made on all of our lives will stay with us forever.

While there will always be a missing piece of the Class of 2028, the light she brought into everyone’s lives will continue to shine through the memories we share and the kindness we carry forward. Emma will be missed dearly by her classmates, faculty, and friends here at GW DPT.

If you are able, please consider donating to Emma’s fundraising page for ovarian cancer research or following the Emma Effect page to support her family in sharing her memory. We love you, Emma🎗️🤍
