Three Bullet Points About You:

• I have participated in many events brought to our alumni and students by the CUAA, including the CUAA’s Annual Holiday Parties, CUAA@AllSouls, CUAA@McSorley’s, CUAA@190 Broadway, CUAA@Orientation/Peter Cooper Movie Night 2015, and the wonderfully successful Founder’s Day 2014 & 2015/Peter Cooper Block Party.
