Each month, in our Public Service Spotlight, we profile a Wagner grad or a group of alumni doing outstanding work in the field. While you've read about individual alumni ranging from social entrepreneurs to deputy commissioners, from program coordinators to executive directors, this month the spotlight is on a group of alumni who are outstanding to us as a whole. Not only do they lead active, dynamic careers, but they also are active as career advisors on the Wagner Network, or WAG-NET. Read more about our alumni in action on the Wagner Network and how you can get involved.
