International Student Engagement
As an international student at NYU Wagner, there are a myriad of ways to get involved and engage with the community at NYU and Wagner, including:
- Student Engagement at Wagner
- Center for Student Life at NYU
STUDENT GROUPS
Wagner has 25+ student groups that give you a chance to engage in diverse social, educational, and informational programs.

Below are a handful of identity-based student groups that we would like to highlight.
- Association of Latinx Students and Allies in Public Service (ALAS)
- Black Student Association (BSA)
