Brooke_6368-web.jpg

Campus Champion

Brooke McGahan’s college experiences included multimedia production for the New York Jets, field reporting for ESPN, marketing at a New York City PR firm, and directing SUNY Cortland’s television and radio stations. Last fall, the College’s Public Relations Office set her loose on video production. Her latest project, SUNY Cortland’s ‘It’s On Us’ video, educates students about preventing sexual assault. With more than 19,000 YouTube views on SUNY Cortland’s Facebook page — so far — it’s been an overwhelming success. Next week, this impressive resumé will be strengthened by a diploma in communications with a sport management minor. Congratulations Brooke!
