Welcome to the Alumni Association

The Alumni Council is made up of volunteers who communicate with CIA leaders and pursue a mission to sustain and build a network of alumni with a lifelong connection to the College. The Council fosters ongoing relationships with students, faculty and staff, and works to build a strong relationship between alumni and CIA.

Alumni are welcome to nominate themselves or others for the Alumni Council by completing this form and contacting Director of Alumni Relations + Scholarships, Rachel Zinram at alumni@cia.edu.
