About IPSA
The International Public Service Association (IPSA) is a graduate organization at New York University's Robert F. Wagner Graduate School of Public Service that brings together members of the Wagner student body interested in international public service, providing a forum for exchange, debate, education and action in the areas of international public management, policy and finance. IPSA works in conjunction with faculty, administration, and other student organizations to facilitate a wide array of internationally focused activities and events.
Our Goals
- To promote an exchange of ideas amongst members of the Wagner Community whose career interests are focused partly or primarily on international issues.
- To educate the Wagner student body and the NYU community at large about international issues, particularly those relating to public service.
- To enhance the presences of the international specialization at the Wagner School, through IPSA's own activities and by promoting and sustaining, along with faculty, a high quality international curriculum.
Nearly 800 students currently attend the Wagner Graduate School of Public Service. Over the last several years the Wagner International Specialization that cuts across each degree program has been exponentially increasing in popularity and prominence, with nearly a third of all Wagner students now declaring themselves internationally-focused. IPSA is an organization at NYU Wagner that brings together graduate students who share an interest in international public service. With approximately 144 active members, IPSA provides a forum for exchange, debate, education and action in the areas of international public management, policy and finance. IPSA continues to play a central role in advocating for innovative international curriculum and faculty, enriching academic work with participatory events and high-profile speakers, and challenging the Wagner administration and student body to engage critically and responsibly in the key international issues of our time.
