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 GROUPS 

Wagner has 25+ student groups that give you a chance to engage in diverse social, educational, and informational programs.  Joining is a great way for you to become more connected and engaged during your graduate school experience. Student groups are structured around professional interests, identity and diversity, and academic program/specialization. 

Below are a handful of identity-based student groups that we would like to highlight.
