The Office of Alumni Relations Visit the Alumni Association Web site for news from the school, updates from classmates and the Cooper Union merchandise store! The Alumni Association comprises all Cooper Union graduates and students who attended the college for a minimum of one year. The Association was organized in 1936 to foster the loyalty, interest and support of those who studied at this unique institution. There are no dues charged for membership. Lead by an Executive Board, the Association's governing body is the Alumni Council, consisting of 36 elected representatives, including all past Alumni Association presidents and four alumni-appointed trustees, and ensuring representation for all three schools. Each year, all members of the Association receive ballots to select the members of the Alumni Council and the Executive Board. Members of the Alumni Council and Executive Board serve on committees to organize events commemorating Founder's Day, plan reunions, host Young Alumni events and coordinate Class Representatives. The Association also supervises the Annual Fund, the primary source for the operating budget of The Cooper Union. Generous contributions to the Annual Fund by alumni, parents and others enable The Cooper Union to further Peter Cooper's mission. Members of the alumni body provide mentoring and career insights through our CU@Lunch program, in conjunction with the Office of Career Services. The Association also recognizes outstanding seniors with the Service to School awards, and presents four annual prestigious alumni awards: Alumnus of the Year, Gano Dunn, John Hejduk and Augustus St. Gaudens. The Association's activities are administered and coordinated by the Office of Alumni Relations. The office coordinates the volunteer committees, communicates with alumni, plans alumni and student events, sells Cooper Union merchandise, assists with fundraising and maintains the Alumni Association Web site.
