A Message from Dean Sherry Glied

Dear Wagner Alumni,

Welcome to our fall semester at Wagner! The year is already off to a terrific start and there is much excitement ahead, especially related to our new home!

This summer Wagner moved into our new home at 105 East 17th Street. We are settling in and making it our own. This week I was delighted to see students, faculty, and staff chatting in the halls, meeting in conference rooms, and lounging together in our new space. The ground floor with our state-of-the art classrooms and main event space will be ready in the spring semester.

This email, as part of my regular, monthly newsletter series, will recap important happenings, showcase Wagner’s exciting work, and continue to keep our community connected.

Here are our highlights and reminders as we kick-off the year:

This semester, we welcome new full-time faculty member Aaron Bekemeyer, and the New York Public Library’s Iris Weinshall (a proud Wagner alumna) will join us in the spring as our Distinguished Visiting Urbanist.

We are pleased to announce that full-time faculty member Jamie Levine Daniel is now the Henry and Marilyn Taub Foundation Associate Professor of Nonprofit Management and Public Service. The Taub Professor serves in a leadership capacity in the Dual Degree Program in Nonprofit Management and Jewish Leadership.

Join the NYU Wagner community for the annual Henry Hart Rice Urban Policy Forum on Thursday, October 10. This year, we are pleased to welcome leading urban thinker Vishaan Chakrabarti as our speaker. Please RSVP here and note our location change this year!

I am delighted to share some recent examples of the great accomplishments in our community. Visit the news and press section of Wagner’s website and follow us on Facebook, Twitter/X, and Instagram for ongoing highlights of Wagner’s impact on the world.

Professor Laura Wherry was appointed to the Executive Office of the President’s Council of Economic Advisors. She will be on leave from NYU Wagner this academic year.
Current NYU Wagner graduate student Bryan Matthew (MPA-PNP 2025), undergraduate student DeVoni Gale (BA Public Policy 2026), and alumni Aisha Balogun (MUP 2023) and Elizabeth (Nikki) Miller (MPA 2023) were all named Association for Public Policy Analysis and Management (APPAM) Equity & Inclusion Fellows for 2024.
