Social Events & Student Engagement

For the local real estate community to which students are encouraged to attend. The programs cover issues ranging from national trends, capital markets, and innovative local real estate projects such as:

• The Midway/Sports Arena redevelopment project
• Mission Valley West redevelopment
• Port of San Diego waterfront development initiatives
• Capital market updates on investment, equity, and debt arena

Each semester students are afforded the ability to receive mentorship from seasoned real estate professionals who volunteer to work with the students throughout the semester and offer their expertise and wisdom well beyond. The program has been very well received and has enjoyed a low student to mentor ration, affording the mentees more quality time and accessibility.

The center supports an active and historically very successful internship program, facilitating the placement of upper-class students into internship positions with real estate operators, property management companies, brokerages, developers, and agencies.

The center promotes the SDSU real estate community by scheduling and hosting a variety of social hours and happy hours for students and alumni. The center encourages interaction between the San Diego real estate community, students, and alumni as part of a community building effort to raise awareness for the program, students, and local industry.

The center encourages and oversees speaking engagements in the classroom or club setting where alums in the industry share their experience and wisdom with students throughout the year. We continually encourage our alumni base to engage with students throughout the school term often coordinating with faculty for individual class lectures.

The center sponsors and encourages project tours including the recently constructed Snapdragon Stadium and innovative development projects in the county.
