The goal is to build a Center and graduate real estate program that is widely recognized as one of the best in the country.

Expectations of the Center/MRED Advancement Board

Act as a sounding board to the Center and the MRED program, advising on curriculum, programs and a research agenda that will help build our reputation as one of the best Real Estate Centers in the country.

Actively assist in the fundraising efforts of the Center for research and outreach, educational programming and student support as well as help with our immediate goal to raise funds Center facilities. Provide input in to drafting the value propositions, assist in sourcing potential benefactors and in some cases lead the funding request for a new building to house the Center and the real estate academic programs.
