An umbrella organization for all alumni, the
Curtis Alumni Council exists to unite Curtis alumni worldwide and
to serve as advisors, guardians and supporters of the Institute.
The mission of the council is to strengthen ties among alumni worldwide
and between alumni and Curtis. All Curtis alumni are represented
by the council with no membership dues. Elected alumni serve as
class representatives as well as representatives from independent
Curtis alumni organizations. One elected council representative
also serves on the Curtis Board of Trustees to represent the alumni.
