Join the NYU SPS Center for Global Affairs, the NYU Wagner School of Public Service, and Young Professional in Foreign Policy for a conversation with professionals who are driving change across industries to share how they’ve built meaningful, purpose-driven careers. The event will feature two fast-paced “speed panels”: one highlighting impactful roles in the private sector and another exploring opportunities in the nonprofit and public sectors. Panelists will represent a wide range of career paths and will share candid insights on how to navigate cross-sector transitions, leverage transferable skills, and align your expertise with causes that matter. A networking reception will follow the panels, offering the chance to connect with peers, alumni, and representatives from organizations that are actively hiring for roles that make a difference.
