ALICIA GLEN ’80

NEW YORK CITY DEPUTY MAYOR OF HOUSING AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT 2014- 2019

“Going to MCS has been one of the most important influences in my life. In a very demonstrable way, it exposed me to the whole world of New York City…that has shaped everything that I have done in my adult life.”

Manhattan Country School alumni are a part of our community for a lifetime. They root us to our history and help lead us forward. MCS alumni work in a host of fields including law, business, science, medicine, education, social services and the arts. They apply what they learned at MCS to their day-to-day work: critical thinking, creativity, scholarship, social justice and community.

We invite you to connect with us, and the wider alumni community, to learn how you can get involved. Drop by for a visit, attend an event or reunion, connect with former classmates, or send news for MCS Courtyard. Online or in person, we are always happy to hear from you!

For more information, please send an email and follow us on social media or join the Alumni Association Facebook Group.
