The Parents Council at The Cooper Union

The Parents Council is a volunteer group of parents of students and graduates dedicated to securing essential support for the college. Through their efforts, the Council helps The Cooper Union maintain its tradition of full-tuition scholarships established by Peter Cooper nearly 150 years ago.

The Parents Council meets on campus four to six times throughout the year. Meetings focus on identifying parent interests, developing strategies for acquiring financial support for the Annual Fund and coordinating communication with fellow Cooper parents. Parents are actively involved in various Cooper Union activities including a major role in the annual Phonathon. Thanks to the efforts of the enthusiastic and motivated Parents Council, parent giving increased 21 percent during the 2006-2007 academic year.

We encourage all parents to join the Parents Council where you will meet other parents committed to the future of The Cooper Union. It's your opportunity to give back to the college that has given your child such a wonderful opportunity.
