Company Visits for Internships
The Magner Center for Career Development and Internship is again coordinating company visits this June to expose students to the working environment, enable students to confirm their career ambitions and provide them with the opportunity to network with executives. This is also an opportunity to make major organizations aware of the talent we have.
We need your assistance in identifying highly successful and motivated students for the visits. Given the caliber of the organizations we are working with, we ask that you recommend Brooklyn College's finest. Please either respond with the student's name and email or have the student contact Natalia Guarin-Klein at nataliag@brooklyn.cuny.edu. Students can attend by invitation only.
This year's confirmed sites are CBS, Bloomberg, American Diabetes Association, Ogilvy (advertising) and PricewaterhouseCoopers. A tentative visit is planned for Madison Square Garden and if the visit falls through, a similar company will be targeted.

In his book, Dershowitz explores the fine line between dangerous speech and harmful conduct. The unearthing of a July 3, 1801 letter by Thomas Jefferson illuminates the founding father’s views on freedom of speech. Professor Dershowitz will display the original Jefferson letter for the first time.
