MEC is the youngest of CUNY’s 11 four-year senior colleges, created in 1970 following years of community advocacy for a public college in central Brooklyn.

Ramsey discussed how the pandemic impacted both teachers and students at Medgar Evers, the switch to remote learning and the college’s recovery now.
