Assemblymember Alicia L. Hyndman, chair of the New York State Assembly Committee on Higher Education, toured the Metropolitan College of New York, located in the Bronx, on Jan. 15 as part of her statewide tour of colleges and universities.
Hyndman’s visit to MCNY Bronx marked her first college tour of 2026, contributing to her ongoing effort to ensure that students who study in New York can build careers in the state.
“As chair of the Assembly Higher Education Committee, I feel it is important to see how colleges are preparing students for today’s and tomorrow’s workforce,” Hyndman said. “MCNY is working to support students, build long careers, and meet workforce needs across New York. This will not only help students but also fuel our economy in the future.”
The assemblywoman, who represents an area of Queens including Jamaica and St. Albans, met with MCNY President Charles J. Gibbs and MCNY leadership during her visit to learn more about the school’s plans for financial stability, new academic programs, and student support services.
