Metropolitan College of New York congratulates our President,
Dr. Charles J. Gibbs, on being named to Schneps Media’s
2026 Manhattan Power List.

Dr. Gibbs brings a depth of experience and a people-first approach to leadership that continues to shape the direction of the College. His career has been grounded in expanding opportunity, strengthening institutions, and building partnerships that open doors for students. At MCNY, that is evident in how he champions access, elevates student success, and keeps MCNY closely connected to the communities we serve.

He is well respected across higher education, not just for his experience, but for how he leads with a focus on students, community, and the future.

MCNY also proudly congratulates alumnus Larry Scott Blackmon, MPA ’07, on this recognition.

The Manhattan Power List will be celebrated on May 7, 2026, at 6:00 pm ET at Bryant Park Grill, 25 West 40th St, New York, NY, and will be hosted by our friend and 2025 Doctor of Humane Letters recipient, Dr. Cheryl Wills of Spectrum News NY1. Learn more HERE.

We are proud to see our community represented in this way.
