At Wagner College, our students’ success is at the heart of everything we do. To ensure that you receive the support and care you deserve, we’ve launched a new initiative called the Network Ensuring Seahawks Thrive (NEST). The NEST is designed to provide a direct, accessible connection between you and the college, ensuring that you can easily find the answers, resources, and assistance you need.
What is NEST?
Network Ensuring Seahawks Thrive (NEST) is a new initiative created to streamline and enhance the support system for Wagner College students. Recognizing the challenges students and their families sometimes face in navigating campus resources, the NEST provides a single point of contact for your questions and concerns. The NEST supplements, but does not replace, existing student services, ensuring that you always have a place to turn to for guidance and assistance.
How to Reach the NEST
If you or your family need assistance, don’t hesitate to reach out to the NEST. You can contact us at:
- Phone: (718) 420-4444
- Email: TheNest@Wagner.edu
We encourage all students and families to keep this contact information handy for whenever you may need support.
