Mark O’Grady Art 1976
Running For: 2021 Council
Campaign Statement
It is an honor to be nominated for a position on the Cooper Union Alumni Association. I have great respect for the work the Association has done to advocate for the return to a Free Cooper Union, which I strongly support. Cooper Union provided me with an amazing opportunity to pursue a career in art and education and I believe my experience in higher education would support the mission of the Alumni Association and contribute to the efforts of strong and open communication between the administration, faculty, and most importantly the students.
