Alyssa Ahern ’13, a public relations professional and an active member of our Alumni Association board, participated in a pair of panels for current Wagner College students last October: one virtual, one on-campus.
Ahern has 10 years of experience in the P.R. field. After graduating, she became an account supervisor with Alison Brod Marketing and Communications, a lifestyle P.R. and marketing agency. Since 2019 she has been a senior P.R. manager for global newsrooms with Adidas.
In October, she hosted a virtual “Lunch & Learn” seminar for the Alumni Association’s Women’s Professional Network, talking with students about the journey from college to career life.
She also participated in an on-campus “Business Insights” panel sponsored by the Nicolais School of Business. The discussion with Wagner business students, moderated by Dean Aarti Ivanic, explored the complex and evolving world of marketing and public relations that Ahern knows so well. Also joining that panel was Victoria Natenzon of Salesforce, a former colleague of Ahern’s at Alison Brod.
