Gregorio Mayers

Gregorio Mayers serves as an Associate Professor of Government and Law within the Department of Public Administration at Medgar Evers College, holding concurrent roles as deputy chair of the department, chair of the criminal justice concentration, and College Ombudsman. A native of Panama who migrated to New York as a teenager, he maintains deep community ties while contributing to academic leadership and policy discourse.

His academic credentials include:

• BS in Business Administration with Public Administration concentration from Medgar Evers College
• Doctor of Jurisprudence degree

Professor Mayers' research integrates Criminal Justice, Public Administration, Government, Law, and Policy through the lens of practical governance experience. His scholarship is significantly shaped by two terms as senior advisor to former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg and extensive legal practice representing political candidates and judicial aspirants, creating a unique bridge between theoretical frameworks and real-world policy implementation.

Community engagement defines his professional identity as an Afro-Latino leader, with active board membership in the Panamanian Day Parade organization, multiple civic entities, and a charter school board. He applies this community perspective to his teaching and ombudsman responsibilities at Medgar Evers College in Brooklyn, where he resides with his family.
