Brooklyn, NY---Brooklyn College EPASO (EmPowered Athletes Serving Others) held a workshop in conjunction with the Brooklyn College Magner Center on Wednesday, August 25, introducing student-athletes to the resources that the center has to offer.  The Magner Center is the Career and Internship Center at the College and provides skill training in many areas desirable to employers, while also linking current students with employers as well as alumni who are in the same field.

The workshop was broken down into two one-hour sessions as the student-athletes were met by Zavi Baynes and Natalia Guarin-Klein on behalf of the Magner Center.  Each speaker captivated and informed the student-athletes on the benefits of experience in their desired field of work and encouraged all to take advantage of the Magner Center's resources.

Both sessions were well attended and feedback from the studen-athletes was overwhelmingly positive.
Jillian Escobar (Francis Lewis / Queens Village, NY), a freshman on the womens' volleyball team, was impressed with the event, stating, "This workshop opens the eyes of students to the resources available at Brooklyn College." 

EPASO and the Magner Center will team up once more in January for another orientation for student-athletes that will be aimed toward winter and spring sports.
