Standish Lee AR 2011
Running For: 2021 Council
Campaign Statement
I am dedicated to seeing a tuition free Cooper Union again and it would be an honor to work towards this on the Cooper Union Alumni Council. I believe that the FEC plan is a great step towards our common objective; it identifies goals that we can all help work towards. I believe Cooper Union alumni are particularly creative, resourceful and motivated and will find ways to help achieve these goals.
