Alumni such as Roy Furman, Vice President of Jefferies & Company, have come back to speak to students about their secrets to success.

How Alumni Can Help the Magner Center

Internships

To remain competitive, our students need to prepare for their career by completing one or more internships by the time they graduate. Students who lack financial resources need assistance in order to afford to take high-quality internships. We are looking for:

Internships Opportunities—Providing internships, ideally paid, is an especially helpful way of giving students the opportunity to remain competitive for top-level jobs. You can email your internship opportunities to Miriam Loyd.
Internship Stipends—Providing monetary gifts or stipends that enable students to take the internships they need is a great way to help. Without this support, many students would be unable to leave their part-time jobs to take needed internships.

Mentoring

Mentors from organizations such as Z100, Goldman Sachs, ESPN, New York City Department of Education, U.S. Department of State, PricewaterhouseCoopers, and FEGS have played a important role in impacting Brooklyn College students' careers and lives. Being a mentor can range from answering questions about a student's upcoming interview to questions about your career path. To start making a difference in a student's life, complete your profile on the Ways Brooklyn College Alumni Can Help Form and join our Alumni & Student Professional Networking Group on LinkedIn.
