Feinberg Student Leadership Team
Jack Peterson, President
Hi all! My name is Jack Peterson, and I’m a first-year medical student here at Feinberg. I am originally from Minneapolis, Minnesota but graduated from UChicago in 2024 and spent a gap year working for the NIH before medical school. I like to spend my time outside of school playing basketball, birding, and reading classic novels. I’m excited to serve as President this year and to continue fostering a strong, welcoming community within CMA. You may contact me here.
Cameron Neidhard, Treasurer
Hello! My name is Cameron Neidhard, and I’m a first-year medical student at Feinberg. I was born and raised in Dayton, Ohio, and I attended the University of Notre Dame, from which I graduated in 2025. Some hobbies of mine include reading, playing and watching football (especially college football), alternate-history mapping, and letter-writing. I am thrilled to serve as Treasurer this year and to help cultivate a faith-filled community here in CMA.
