Alumni Association for New York City Cornellians
Cornell Alumni in New York have a long and distinguished history of involvement with the university, dating back to the Cornell Men's and Women's Clubs in 1889. Since 1989, when Cornell opened its own facility on East 44th Street, the Alumni Association and The Cornell Club-New York have formed a unique partnership which allows Alumni Association for New York City Cornellians to enjoy the activities and privileges similar to other regional alumni groups, along with the special benefits of association with The Cornell Club-New York. Alumni Association members can choose from many events to participate in such as All-Ivy mixers and "Millennium Movie Nights" hosted by The Cornell Club-New York, and speakers events featuring members of Cornell University faculty. The Alumni Association for New York City Cornellians welcomes your participation, your ideas, and your support in a broad range of social, cultural, business, educational and philanthropic activities.
In the past year, 1,000 Cornell volunteers have worked with Association and Club committees to support the university and the community, while making new friendships and renewing old ones. There are several Alumni Association Committees where you can become involved: The Career Committee, The Community Outreach Committee, The Cornell Alumni Admissions Ambassador Network (CAAAN) and The Scholarship Committee. Opportunities for Alumni Association involvement on The Cornell Club-New York Program Committees include working on Arts & Entertainment plans, Social events, Speakers and Cultural events, Young Alumni events and on special committees such as the annual Moonlight Cruise.
