AlumNite 2026
Join Us for AlumNite 2026: A Night to Reconnect, Reimagine, and Celebrate Wagner
AlumNite is back—and this year's celebration brings fresh energy, new leadership, and more ways to reconnect with the Wagner community you know and love. Join fellow alumni for an evening that blends celebration, conversation, and purpose in Wagner's new home at 105 East 17th Street.
The Main Event (6:00-8:30pm) includes:
A featured conversation with our new Dean, Polly Trottenberg
WagChats with faculty—informal, small-group conversations spotlighting current faculty research
Seasonal hors d’oeuvres and beverages
Live music
A photo booth
Interactive stations with surprises
Time to reconnect with classmates and make new friends
More than a night out, AlumNite 2026 is also Wagner's annual alumni fundraiser in support of the Wagner Scholarship Fund, which provides scholarships and other financial support—so students can continue to make an impact on the public good.
Alumni who join the AlumNite Host Committee by making a gift of $250 or higher to the Wagner Scholarship Fund are invited to a special Host Committee Reception (5-6pm)—an intimate gathering with the Dean and faculty ahead of the Main Event. You will also be featured on the event page, in digital slideshows, and communication materials.
Come celebrate where Wagner is now and where we're headed next. Let's reconnect, support public service education, and show what it means to say: “We are Wagner.”
