Begun in 1997, CU @ Lunch with Cooper Union Alumni focuses on the work of recent graduates who can speak about the vital issues they face following graduation. The program's objectives are to provide career-development programming for architecture and art students by drawing on alumni expertise; facilitate the development of alumni-to-student learning and relationships; provide independent and faculty alumni with a professional-development opportunity, by offering a public platform to present their work; and create a unique intellectual forum for students, faculty, and staff that focuses on topics of interest to the Cooper community.

Announcements for each event are made available online as a student resource. The brief text about the speakers serves two professional development purposes: it documents the career path and undertakings of each the speakers and presents students with a repository of potential contacts. The Career Center works with Cooper's Center for Design & Typography to produce the announcements, adding a visual richness to the CU @ Lunch Poster Archive.
