The Program
BCAU Alumni Website
Home
Of the program's 340 graduates (as of 2006) nearly all remain conservation professionals. Program graduates hold significant positions in major museums and conservation facilities in the US and abroad, or have successful private practices. Many are active in professional organizations and often hold leadership positions.

The department does its best to keep this list current. Alumni, please contact the department if any updates or changes are necessary. You can fill out our Directory Update Form to mail or fax to the department with changes.

We also invite all alumni to visit the Buffalo-Cooperstown Alumni Union website for updates on reunions and pictures from past alumni and department events. Click here for a link to the BCAU Alumni Website.
