Friends of Cooper Union was founded in 2011 by a coalition of students, faculty, staff, alumni and friends in order to ensure the Institution’s mission is sustained, financial challenges are met, and that The Cooper Union remains vibrant and free for generations to come.
Over six months, Friends of Cooper Union worked with faculty, staff, students, alumni and friends to address Cooper Union's challenges. The result: a community-authored guide that offers first steps forward for a healthy, vibrant and free Cooper Union.
