Bio

Kelly Smolar (ME’07/’11) is a senior project manager for MEPS systems at Tishman Construction. She has been active in Cooper Union Alumni Association almost immediately since graduation. This started off in phonations and later in the communications, nominating and tellers committees. The work she takes most pride in is both the 1859 campaign and her advocacy for a return to the structure defined by Peter Cooper for a full merit scholarship. It is my hope on the nominating committee that I will be able to continue to ensure that the right people are brought to the community as we transition to an independent body with the mission to return our school to the proper full merit scholarship.
