Student Success

Sport Management Student Perspective

Sport Management student Sabrina Pohlig '20 came to Albertus from West Palm Beach, Florida. In her Junior year, she completed an internship at People’s United Center, a multi-purpose arena in Hamden, Connecticut. There, she focused on in-game marketing and fan engagement, and she also was a volunteer for the NCAA Frozen Four.

"Professor DeCarli taught me that hard work and dedication truly matter to become successful.  To find something you are passionate about and make that your career, all you need is one moment, one chance, or one event to open up a door full of opportunities."

Sabrina was a Resident Assistant, Co-President of Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC), Class of 2020 Senator for Student Government Association (SGA), Vice President of Student Alumni Association (SAA), and a member of the Women's Lacrosse and Soccer Teams at Albertus Magnus College.
