FGSA at Wagner - First Generation Student Association at NYU Wagner

Join us, the First Generation Student Association (FGSA), for a continuation of our panel discussion on what it means to be first-gen! This panel will feature a first-gen faculty member, alum, and current student who will all speak on their experiences navigating grad school, internships, and networking.

As first-gen, many of us are navigating these spaces without a safety net and we rely on building networks as a tool to gain access. Our hope is that our panel discussion & mixer will serve as an opportunity to build a deeper understanding of the resource available to you and facilitate connection build here at Wagner.

Our panelists include Judy Pryor-Ramirez, Clinical Assistant Professor of Public Service and the Director of the Executive Master of Public Administration Program; Geovanni Barcenes (Wagner ‘20), Policy Analyst, Office of the Deputy Mayor for Strategic Initiatives at Office of the Mayor of New York City; Jacqueline Ramales, MPA-PNP Social Impact, Innovation, and Investment student, Manager of Economic Mobility at Restore NYC.
