Tri-C President Alex Johnson and Cuyahoga Community College Foundation President Megan O’Bryan stand among the list of forward-thinking influencers created by Cleveland Magazine. The Cleveland 500 is featured in the February issue of Community Leader.

Johnson has served as Tri-C president since 2013 and reshaped the student experience with a strong focus on access, equity and success. Graduation rates and totals have reached record numbers and continue to climb under his guidance. 

O’Bryan joined the College in 2015 to lead the Foundation, which works to provide Tri-C students with the resources to learn and thrive. The Foundation awarded a record $3.8 million in scholarships to more than 3,000 students last year.
