Three real estate MBA students and David Shulman, visiting assistant professor of Real Estate and assistant director of the AREIT, attended the NAREIT (National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts) Annual Convention held in Las Vegas in November   to learn more about REITs.  Michael Mihelbergel, Graaskamp Center executive director, also attended the conference. 

In October, a group of 11 undergraduate real estate students, led by Sharon McCabe, senior lecturer and assistant director of the Graaskamp Center, traveled to Munich, Germany to attend the Expo Real Conference, one of the largest international real estate conference in the world.  The trip gave students the unique opportunity to meet and speak with real estate professionals and distinguished leaders of the international real estate community and attend workshops on global real estate topics.

Out of dozens of applicants, Real Estate MBA student Erica Healey was recently selected to receive a full-scholarship to participate in the “Women as Global Leaders” Conference in Dubai, United Arab Emirates March 10-12, 2008.  The annual conference aims to bring together women from more than 85 different countries to  discuss issues relating to women’s leadership.
