The CANY University Membership enhances the connection between Canadian universities and their NYC-based alumni, offering local programming and meaningful engagement.

CANY has established a membership tailored to our Canadian university partners, with a view to delivering a consistent year-long engagement and benefit delivery consistent with CANY's other membership offerings. Membership provides annual benefits to Canadian universities seeking to leverage CANY's convening capability, meaningfully engage new and current alumni, and address common gaps in local programming (e.g., Canada Day) while strengthening ties between NYC alumni to Canada.
