Wagner Womxn (WW) raises awareness and engages the Wagner community on public policies affecting womxn and gender-expansive people. The organization shares relevant information and hosts events at Wagner for networking, community-building, and educational purposes. WW creates community between womxn, female-identifying folks, and anyone who has an interest in supporting and uplifting womxn’s voices. The board has a strong interest in building networks and providing opportunities for professional development, supporting womxn at Wagner and beyond. WW aims to strike a balance between community building events and events that engage with those issues around gender in the organizational, political, or policy space.
