Orientation Activities
We use the phrase "Orientation Over Time" to describe our approach to welcoming new students to our community. We see orientation as a series of activities and resources designed to prepare you for the beginning of your first term at Wagner and to help you get the best possible start to your graduate school journey.
Orientation Over Time
Wagner 101
The Student Services team presents mandatory sessions just prior to the start of the term. These sessions orient you to important policies, procedures, and resources at NYU Wagner and the University.
The mandatory Wagner 101 sessions for Fall 2023 will be held between August 17 and 21 (via Zoom).
