By Kelvin Childs in Beyond The Yard, Howard University’s Alumni Newsletter
Charles J. Gibbs (’91, BBA; ’04, MEd; ’20, EdD) stands as a testament to the transformative power of education. He credits Howard University not only for sharpening his skills and talents but also for preparing him to lead as the seventh and first African-American president of Metropolitan College of New York (MCNY). His journey to the presidency was forged through his education and 16 years of leadership at Howard from 2000 to 2016.
