Connect with Current Students and Alumni
Admissions Ambassadors are current NYU Wagner students and alumni who are eager to speak with you about their experiences inside the classroom and beyond. Connect via phone, Zoom, or in person for coffee in NYC.
Register for up to three connections with Ambassadors to explore your interests and career goals. Expect an email from your matched alumnus/student within seven days of submitting your request.
