Wagner Women's Caucus Brown Bag

This is part two of our two-part fall mentorship series. The WWC would like to provide an informal space where Wagner students can come together and learn from women leaders in our community. We are inviting Wagner alumni to join us for lunch and share their career advice and how their Wagner experience has got them to where they are today. Our second lunch will focus on strategic communications for women leaders.
