Find your people. Build your path. Bring your ideas to life.
At NYU Wagner, student groups are more than extracurricular—they’re a central part of your graduate experience. Whether you’re curious about food policy, health equity, urban planning, or inclusive leadership, there’s a student group waiting to welcome your ideas, challenge your thinking, and help you grow. Led by students and shaped by your interests, Wagner's 30+ student groups organize thought-provoking events, skill-building workshops, policy discussions, career panels, and creative community initiatives. Along the way, they spark unexpected collaborations, lasting friendships, and the kind of learning that happens beyond the classroom.
