Anna Brook BSE’04
Running for: Secretary
Campaign Statement
I am honored to be nominated for CUAA Secretary. I am the current Secretary and if elected I will continue to ensure smooth communications and organization within the CUAA Council, and to advance engagement with the alumni community and outside of Cooper Union.
My brother (ChE ‘13) and I both benefitted from Cooper Union’s free tuition and I am dedicated to providing future generations of Cooper students the same opportunity. As a result, I serve on CUAA Committees that are integral to fundraising (Annual Fund Committee), alumni engagement (Communications Committee), and seek to maintain a positive working relationship between the CUAA and Cooper Union. I also spearheaded the creation of the Alumni in Law affinity group in 2019 to engage alumni, provide networking opportunities, and encourage fundraising.
I have served as the Secretary for two years and if elected, I will continue to manage CUAA Council communications, be available to members to relay information or concerns, and work to increase alumni involvement.
