 The Cooper Union was founded in 1859 by successful inventor and businessman Peter Cooper. Though more than a century has passed, his entrepreneurial spirit has remained instilled in the generations of students who have succeeded him, and the opportunity for Cooper alumni to create their own marks on the world is as prominent as ever. This desire is being facilitated by the Cooper Union Advisory Service (CU2AS), a pro bono referral service that matches Cooper Union alumni and their specialized expertise with any organization in need of such advisory assistance. This is done in the expectation that the service recipients will then voluntarily donate directly to The Cooper Union.
The CU2AS is an independent not-for-profit corporation that is not affiliated with The Cooper Union. According to the mission statement on its website,www.cu2as.org, it offers advice to start-ups and small/mid-sized businesses to address issues of “performance, strategy, tactics, resource allocation, technical evaluations, management, quality assurance/control, or marketing.” The directors of CU2AS are Ray Tillman (CE’57), Margaret Matz (Ar’83), Al Rosenblatt (EE’57) and Robert Cohen (AR, ’83). They formed this organization approximately two years ago, when Cooper Union’s financial troubles were hotly contested and tensions were escalated among the Cooper community. The CU2AS stood as (and still proudly remains) a bipartisan organization that sought to pool the collective resources of Cooper’s alumni rather than further divide a community. As Ray Tillman and Margaret Matz explain, “The Cooper Union alumni’s exceptional expertise is an unused resource that has not yet been utilized to help the school through its financial troubles.” CU2AS’s sole interest is in making the organization a viable entity to ensure the school’s longevity while helping alumni and students succeed along the way. CU2AS is currently improving its communications platform to better identify any organization in need of its services. To serve as an expert advisor or (most importantly) to identify any organization who could possibly benefit from CU2AS support, contact CU2AS via email (cu2as@googlegroups.com), phone (646-201-4870) or snail mail (P.O. Box 20847, New York, NY 10023). |
