The primary charge of the Brooklyn College 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, 501C3 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.
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, meeting at venues such as theaters, museums, and other cultural institutions.
