Women's Professional Network
The WPN is a series of presentations and workshops that help prepare Wagner women to enter the workforce. Opportunities in different career areas are discussed, as well as issues common in the workplace. Drawing on the extensive experience of Wagner’s many successful alumnae, we hope to provide this group of young women with the tools to build successful careers while serving as leaders and role models in the workplace. Female sophomores through seniors, as well as graduate students, of any major or career interest are invited to apply for this program.
Our Mission
Empower Wagner's female community, across all professional disciplines, for every stage of her career.
Senior executives, to young professionals to current students helping one another achieve common and personal goals.
Our Values
Draw on a group of extensive and diverse experiences and backgrounds.
Keep the conversations alive through open forums, events and one-on-one member networking.
