MCNY Appoints Theresa Redd as Executive Director of Alumni Relations and Annual Giving

Dear MCNY Alumni Community,

I am pleased to announce the appointment of Theresa Redd as Executive Director of Alumni Relations and Annual Giving at Metropolitan College of New York. She joins MCNY as we continue to strengthen relationships with our alumni, expand philanthropic support, and build a broader community of partners committed to the future of our College and our scholars.

Ms. Redd brings more than 30 years of leadership experience in strategic communications, public relations, marketing, brand development, fundraising support, sponsorships, partnerships, executive advising, and community engagement. Her work has spanned the nonprofit, education, healthcare, cultural, entrepreneurial, and entertainment sectors, where she has helped organizations increase visibility, cultivate supporters, and advance mission-driven initiatives.

In this role, Ms. Redd will lead MCNY’s efforts to reconnect and engage our alumni, celebrate their accomplishments, and create opportunities for them to stay involved in the life of the College. She will also oversee annual giving initiatives and help cultivate relationships with donors, corporations, foundations, and community partners who believe in the transformative power of Purpose-Centered Education.

Our alumni are among MCNY’s greatest ambassadors. Their achievements reflect the value of an MCNY education and the difference our graduates continue to make in their professions and communities. Ms. Redd understands that lasting support for a college is built through relationships, shared experiences, and giving people meaningful ways to stay connected to MCNY.

I am confident that Ms. Redd’s energy, strategic perspective, and ability to bring people together will help us deepen alumni engagement and strengthen our culture of philanthropy. Please join me in welcoming her to the MCNY family and supporting her as she begins this new chapter with our alumni, donors, and partners.

Together, We Rise,
Charles J. Gibbs, Ed.D.
President
