Brooklyn College Alumni Association
Mission Statement
The Brooklyn College Alumni Association provides a lifelong association between Brooklyn College of the City University of New York and its alumni by supporting the mission, students, faculty, and programs of the college. The primary charge of the Alumni Association is to foster, maintain, and enhance the alumni connection to the college by providing activities, services, and programs for regional chapters, graduating classes, and professional and cultural affiliate groups. Upon graduation, alumni begin a lifelong relationship with the college. Many participate as mentors, internship sponsors, and career advisers in programs designed to assist students while they are still in school.
The BCAA is an independently incorporated, 501(c)(3) organization with a national board of directors elected by the membership who operate under a set of bylaws. Under the auspices of the BCAA, our chapters and affiliates select their own leaders and organize cultural and social events. Everyone involved works on a voluntary basis. Check out the Alumni Calendar.
There are 17 active Brooklyn College alumni chapters across the country and one in Israel. Most chapters convene from two to four times a year for a variety of events. Gatherings often involve informal luncheons and dinners, often with guest speakers, at such venues as theaters, museums, and other cultural institutions.
