Aaron Magnuson, facilities operations coordinator for the Indiana Pacers, discusses
his work as well as the role internships played in his career on the newest episode of Trine University’s Center for Sports Studies podcast.
Magnuson graduated from IUPUI only two years ago but has already had experience working in the NFL and NBA in events and facilities management.
He completed seven internships while in college, and talks about how those experiences prepared him for his current role as well as the overall importance of students gaining experience before graduation.
