Connections

Current NYU Wagner students and alumni of our programs are eager to speak with you about their experiences inside the classroom and beyond. In addition to phone/Skype calls, you can also sign up to grab coffee with a current student (in NYC) or alumnus/a (in NYC, throughout the US, and around the globe). In an effort to ensure that all prospective students have sufficient opportunities, you can register for one connection with a current student and one connection with an alumnus/alumna.

***Make sure you have an active prospective student account prior to signing up for a connection. You will be asked to provide your account information when you click on a registration link.*** 

Note: You will be contacted via email by your alumnus/current student match approximately 7 days after you submit your request. Please contact wagner.admissions@nyu.edu if you do not receive an email message in that time frame.
