On Tuesday, September 27, 2011, Medgar Evers College of The City University of New York will host its Founders, Visionaries and Alumni Dinner, themed “Sustaining the Vision and Fulfilling the Dream”, in a memorable evening featuring a keynote address delivered by world-renowned comedian, author, activist, and actor, Dr. Bill Cosby. The evening commences with a reception at 6:00 p.m. and is followed by the program at 7:00 p.m. in Academic Building I – 1638 Bedford Ave., Brooklyn, NY 11225.

Medgar Evers College is dedicated to higher education as a vehicle of transformation. Over four decades ago, visionaries and founders in Central Brooklyn struggled to create an institution that would be committed to guaranteeing higher educational access to the community. Many of those leaders were and have become some of New York City’s and this nation’s most distinguished figures. Founders include: the late Congresswoman Shirley Chisholm, Congressman Ed Towns, New York City Councilman Al Vann, Educator Dr. Marcella Maxwell, Civil Rights Activist Elsie Richardson, and Judge William Thompson, Sr., among several other notables.
