A dedicated public servant and a native of Queens, Queens Borough President Donovan Richards has spent his career championing the diverse communities of “the world’s borough.” His path to leadership was forged in resilience; after witnessing the devastating impact of gun violence in his youth, he turned personal tragedy into a lifelong passion for civic reform. As Queens Borough president since 2020, Mr. Richards has been a tireless advocate for over 2.4 million residents during a pivotal era in New York’s history.
In recognition of his exemplary career, his unwavering advocacy for small businesses, and his generous service to the public good, we are proud to present Donovan Richards, Jr. with the Queens College President’s Medal.
