Medgar Evers College is a senior college within The City University of New York and was established in 1970.

Our mission is to develop and maintain high quality, professional, career-oriented undergraduate degree programs; proudly offering strong academic programs through its four Schools. We provide a solid foundation of general education to prepare our students to achieve personal and academic goals. We believe that education has the power to positively transform the lives of individuals and is the right of all individuals in the pursuit of self-actualization. Consequently, our student-centered curriculum is fundamentally qualitative and transformative.

💗💙 Pink and blue for a purpose!Yesterday, the division of Student Success and Enrollment Management came together in recognition of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, showing support for those impacted by breast cancer and raising awareness about the importance of early detection.

This message is especially important in the Black community. Black women face significant disparities in breast cancer outcomes, with breast cancer death rates approximately 34% higher than those of white women. These disparities remind us why awareness, access to quality care, regular screenings and community support matter.

At Medgar Evers College, we stand in solidarity with survivors, honor those we have lost, and encourage everyone to continue the conversation about breast health. 💗
