Each spring, we celebrate the conclusion of the academic year by asking graduating students to share highlights from their time at Cooper and their plans for the future.
We spoke with José Ortiz, the new director of The Cooper Union Saturday Program, and Ciana Malchione A'21, who was recently promoted to assistant director.
Entrepreneur, academic, and artist Kevin Slavin, whose work spans the intersections of science, technology, and culture, will deliver the keynote address at The Cooper Union's 2024 commencement ceremony.
Founded by inventor, industrialist and philanthropist Peter Cooper in 1859, The Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science and Art offers education in art, architecture and engineering, as well as courses in the humanities and social sciences.
From its beginnings, Cooper Union was a unique institution, dedicated to founder Peter Cooper's proposition that education is the key not only to personal prosperity but to civic virtue and harmony.
