NYU Wagner Student-Led Activities
Urban Planning Student Association (UPSA)
The Urban Planning Student Association (UPSA) is a student-run organization whose mission is to help students develop a deeper appreciation and understanding of various planning issues. Quality lectures and programming are planned throughout the academic year which reflect the interests of students while introducing them to new ideas. The group strives to improve and raise the profile of Wagner’s Urban Planning Program within the school and among other planning schools. All students are welcome to participate in the organization and UPSA seeks to collaborate with other like-minded student groups on campus to provide the best possible opportunities for all Wagner students.
Wagner Review
The Wagner Review is the student-run academic journal of the Robert F. Wagner Graduate School of Public Service at New York University. The Wagner Review promotes dialogue on a wide range of issues related to public service, by publishing original research from a diverse group of students and alumni that reflect the academic programs offered and scholarly research conducted at NYU Wagner, involving a wide range of topics, including public and non-profit management, public policy, financial management and public finance, health policy, health management, urban planning, and international affairs.
