Rudy Crew

Who is Rudy Crew?

Rudolph Franklin "Rudy" Crew is President of Medgar Evers College. A lifelong educator and public school administrator, Crew was serving since June 2012 as Oregon's first Chief Education Officer. Appointed by Governor John Kitzhaber, Crew oversaw the integrated public education system in Oregon from pre-kindergarten through college and career readiness.

Perhaps his most prominent job was as chancellor of the New York City Board of Education, a position he held from 1995–1999, where many educators, including Thomas Sobol, who served as the Commissioner of Education of the State of New York, believe Crew left behind an important legacy.
