  • Medgar Evers College
    MEDGAR EVERS COLLEGE The City University of New York President | Position Profile PRESIDENT Brooklyn, New York Courage, Strength, and Fortitude Medgar Evers College, part of The City University of New York (CUNY), seeks a collaborative, innovative, student-centered leader and scholar to serve as its next president. This is an attractive opportunity for an experienced and visionary leader with a sincere commitment to preserving the rich legacy of Medgar Evers College as an urban, social-justice focused, Predominantly Black Institution. Born out of the civil rights movement and social justice struggles of the late ’60s, the College was named for the slain civil rights leader and icon Medgar Wiley Evers, who stood for excellence and the fight to preserve human rights and equality. The College’s philosophy that education has the power to positively transform the lives of individuals is still at the core of its mission. Located in the heart of Central Brooklyn, Medgar Evers College enrolled 5,800 students, mostly in credit-bearing degree programs in the Fall of 2019. Celebrating its 50th anniversary in 2020, Medgar Evers College grew out of a community effort committed to serving students with diverse educational, socioeconomic, political and cultural backgrounds. The opportunity to lead this institution comes at a crucial time in this nation’s history when protestors across the country are calling for social justice and racial equality, themes that underscored the civil rights work of the College’s namesake. The College and the broader Central Brooklyn community are filled with talented, entrepreneurial, diverse and engaged individuals eager to welcome and partner with the school’s next president to advance these ideas of equity, inclusiveness and justice.

The African-American population in the state of Georgia is 27 percent, but 68 percent of Georgia’s prison population is African-American. The grant is focused on establishing an Atlanta Technical College (ATC) Institute for Males (AIM). The mission of AIM is to increase the enrollment and retention of African-American males and other students wishing to engage in developing themselves by pursuing a college degree at an accredited institution. The programs address recidivism, improving educational outcomes of postsecondary and secondary education, increasing exposure to and enhancing experiences with diverse cultures, and fostering an environment of civic engagement.
