The John Cooper School Alumni Association

It was great to see so many alumni back on campus for Commencement today! Class of 2026 - Welcome to The John Cooper School Alumni Association! Go Dragons! 💚🖤🐉 🐉

Class of 2026 - Donut forget us! 🍩💚

We had the best time celebrating the senior class at the Yearbook Signing Party before graduation practice! The Alumni Office, along with Alumni Board members, Leah MacDougal Jones ‘98, Arti Allam Thangudu ’03, and Kaley Davis Urbanczyk ‘01 (and a few of their Dragons!), helped pass out donuts as a small reminder - once a Dragon, always a Dragon.

We’re so proud of this class and can’t wait to officially welcome them into the Alumni Association tomorrow! 🎓🐉 🐉

Great to hear from Cooper alumnus Tim Tarpley ’98 this morning at The Woodlands Chamber of Commerce Business Advocacy Council.
Tim, a former Cooper Alumni Board member and current President of the Energy Workforce & Technology Council, shared valuable insights on the future of the energy industry, workforce trends, and the evolving landscape shaping today’s energy economy.
Proud to see Cooper alumni making an impact and leading important industry conversations! 🐉

Two incredible months of Dragon pride 🐉🔥 Our City Gatherings brought alumni together across multiple cities to reconnect, share stories, and strengthen our growing Dragon community. Thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make each gathering special. A special shoutout to Diana Harris ’11 for generously hosting the Boston City Gathering on behalf of the alumni office. We’re so grateful for your support and leadership! 🐉

❤️ Alumni attendees showed up in support of heart health, and to cheer on our own Dr. Paulraj Samuel, who shined on the runway at yesterday’s Go Red for Women Luncheon fashion show. So grateful to celebrate alumni making an impact on and off the stage.❤️ 🐉

Breakfast with the legends ☕✨ The Alumni Office had the pleasure of hosting the Cooper Retired Faculty Breakfast on campus today. A lovely morning celebrating the incredible impact these Dragons have (and continue to have) on our students and community. The next Cooper Retired Faculty Breakfast will be on Tuesday, May 12, at 8:30 a.m. at Black Walnut. 🐉

The Alumni Office is excited to host the next Cooper Retired Faculty Breakfast on Tuesday, April 14, at 8:30 a.m. on campus in the Athletic Center, Ruckman Team Room. The Athletic Center is located between Pugh Field and the Dunlap Gymnasium, with convenient parking behind the Sims Student Center or near Pugh Field. We can’t wait to celebrate the lasting impact of those who helped shape Cooper. 🐉
