Greg Cooper - Outstanding Contribution

The 2011 Bryden Alumni Award for Outstanding Contribution goes to: Greg Cooper!

Outstanding Contribution: Dedication to the advancement of the University through exceptional service, commitment, and contributions.

Gregory Cooper (LLB '69): Greg's biography reads almost like a history of York itself. A member of the University's first undergraduate class in 1960, he subsequently pursued a law degree at Osgoode Hall Law School, seeing it become York's Faculty of Law in his final year. Despite a busy legal career, Greg's involvement with York only grew after graduation. He followed classmate Bruce Bryden as president of the Alumni Association and served on the Board of Governors for 17 years. His Chairmanship of the Building & Property Committee from 1987-1991—a period of tremendous growth and capital development—is renowned. According to one admirer: "It is time for this unsung hero to be sung."
