Wagner End-of-Year Party Committee

Do you still harbor a secret desire to be King or Queen? Do you want to help plan THE social event of the decade, “the party we'll all still be talking in about in 2099"? With over 300 attendees last year, the Wagner Prom is one of the best-attended events at Wagner. The prom committee meets beginning in late September to plan all aspects of Wagner students' favorite night out on the town! To sign up for the Wagner Prom Committee, email Priscilla Addison, VP of Public Affairs at pa839@nyu.edu.

The Wagner Cares Committee, formerly Volunteer Corps, is comprised of Wagner community members who are committed to finding sustainable ways to serve in New York City.
