Alumni Network
The Wagner experience doesn’t stop with graduation - at NYU Wagner, Alumni stay connected and play an active role in the lives of current and prospective students. They speak on panels, attend networking events, and are involved in advisement and job recruitment. Through the Office of Career Services’ WAG-NET program, members provide one-on-one advice and information about their jobs, organizations, career paths, or knowledge of a particular field, with a goal of fostering professional relationships within the Wagner community.
Alumni stay connected with each other through the Wagner Alumni Association, through regional and industry based affinity groups, as well as by attending, participating in, and planning special events hosted by Wagner throughout the year in New York and other cities across the country.
