The W. P. Carey Center for Real Estate and Finance builds strong connections with partners, alumni, and other universities to develop the next generation of real estate leaders. Together, we continue to advance real estate education and research innovation. Our advisory board and council members contribute to establishing strong academic and career foundations for students, as well as current and aspiring real estate professionals.
Industry and community partners help further our mission, while exposing real estate students to relevant coursework and experiential learning opportunities that align with their passions and career aspirations.
The Real Estate Advisory Board at the W. P. Carey School of Business consists of real estate executives and alumni who provide input on curriculum, training, pragmatic research needs, and major fundraising activities. They serve as guest speakers for courses and student organizations and mentor students wishing to pursue fulfilling careers in real estate.
The Real Estate Council brings together alumni and industry leaders committed to advancing real estate education, research, and service to the industry. Members play a pivotal role in reimagining the future of real estate and shaping the industry's trajectory to ensure that it stays adaptive, informed, and forward-thinking.
We are grateful for the support provided by professional industry organizations:
The center acts as a major convener and an invaluable community resource for industry and academic experts in real estate. We bring together community leaders, practitioners, and academic researchers to discuss approaches and solutions to current and future real estate challenges.
