Committees and Committee Chairs
The following are standing and ad hoc committees of the Alumni Association, in accordance with the Constitution and By-Laws. Committee membership is open to all alumni though chairs must be members of the Alumni Council. Many alumni volunteer their time on one or more committees. It’s also a great way to stay involved with Cooper Union, while having a lot of fun!
If you are interested in joining a CUAA Committee, where applicable, please see the committee’s page on this website, and feel free to contact the appropriate committee chair directly, or let us know (via email to contact@cooperalumni.org ) that you are interested.
