“I trust that all the youth of our city and country, through all coming time, will realise that this Institution has been organised for their special use and improvement; and I trust that they will rally around and protect it, and make it like a city set on a hill, that cannot be hid.” —Peter Cooper, November 2, 1859.

WHO: Free to Cooper students, alumni, staff, faculty, and our friends in the general public! Bring your Cooper ID or an Alumni Association Card, if you have one. Please RSVP in advance to freecooperunionforum@gmail.com as a courtesy.
