Why Faculty Should Use The Magner Career Center, with Cheryl Carmichael

Help Students Prepare for Their Career

Over the past several years, the Magner Career Center has worked closely with faculty and staff. The center is a resource for students, but partnering with faculty and staff to encourage students to start working towards their careers is essential.

Collaborate with us in preparing Brooklyn College students for their careers by introducing our resources early in your classrooms.

Tell Your Students About Us

Encourage your students to use our services as soon as possible. The earlier they prepare, the more competitive they will be after graduation. They should actively check and monitor their progress by reviewing their major specific career map.

Post the one-minute Magner Career Center Commercial or three-minute Magner Career Center Orientation on Blackboard.

Add a small blurb about the Magner Career Center in your syllabus. For example: "What will you do after you graduate? The Magner Center, located in 1303 James Hall, has valuable resources including résumé and interview preparation, finding an internship, choosing a career, and more. Please review the 10 Tips to Plan Your Dream Career guide to take charge of your career success." Show one of our Top Ten Career Tips videos.

Alumni and Employer Contacts

Connect us with alumni and employers who are willing to share their career experiences with students. They can serve as mentors, offer internships/job opportunities, or serve as speakers at our events.

Have Us Come Speak

Invite us to talk briefly with your students during class. Alumni, professionals, or one of our staff members can visit to inform your students about industry/career knowledge and skills related to your academic discipline. Consider incorporating careers as a class assignment. For example, assign students to research careers/employers or interview alumni and write a reflection paper about a career conference or panel.

E-mail careernews@brooklyn.cuny.edu to request a speaker or a class assignment.

Tell Students About Our Stipend Award

We provide internship stipends to support students who can't afford an unpaid internship. Learn more about the guidelines and deadlines for the stipend program. Encourage students to apply.

The earlier students connect with the Career Center, the more opportunities they will have.
