NEW! We have an online Alumni Directory! The Alumni Directory is a secure way to share your information with your fellow Alums. This site is exclusively for Cornish Alumni and requires a password to sign in.

Have you ever wondered what a certain Alum has been up to, wanted to get in touch with a project idea, job offer, or residency which would be perfect for them? If they’ve created a profile, you’ll see them. 

The Alumni Directory is a secure way to reconnect with classmates you haven’t seen in years (decades?), network, find or offer that new job.

If you’re wanting to be a part of the Cornish community again, or want to get more people back in the fold, here is where you can do it – even reach out one-on-one to a specific Alum.

We invite you to take a moment right now, set up your profile here. and get reconnected with your Cornish Alums!  Questions? 
Just email alumni@cornish.edu for further assistance.
