Membership Benefits and Dues

Paid membership in the Cornell Club of Washington gets you

  • Free or discounted admission to many events
  • Priority registration at popular events
  • A printed directory of Cornell Club of Washington members
  • A monthly newsletter highlighting Club activities
  • Reciprocal discounts at selected One Ivy, Cornell Club of Maryland, and other partner-sponsored events
  • Dual membership discounts with the DC Cornell Black Alumni Association (CBAA)

The Cornell Club of Washington is Cornell’s largest all-volunteer regional alumni association, and one of its most active. But CCW receives no funding from the university— we rely exclusively on your dues and donations to serve, expand, and develop the Cornell community across the national capital area. And proceeds from Life Memberships are contributed to the CCW Scholarship Fund if a member departs from the area.

CCW is a 501(c)(3) organization. Membership dues and Scholarship Fund donations are tax deductible to the extent permitted by law.

CCW Programs and Activities

Make the most of what living in the Washington area has to offer! CCW’s event coordinators plan programs that range from embassy tours to dragon boat clinics to happy hours. Our club offers avenues to make a difference in the community life of the city and region, and exclusive opportunities to connect with new business partners and old friends. CCW’s sports programs get you up in the mountains, onto the Potomac, and out on the fields, and up in the stands to cheer on the Big Red. And you can touch the lives of current and prospective Cornell students as an alumni ambassador, a scholarship committee member, or a career mentor.
