The Committee’s mission is to expand the Center’s engagement with international real estate professionals who operate and/or reside outside of the U.S.Ìý Activities include identifying potential IAB members; engaging CU alumni who are working either in the international market or outside of the United States; working to develop internships and career paths; and assisting in hosting student treks.Ìý The goals from the committee’s effort include expanding career opportunities for Klump Center graduates and alumni, bringing global perspectives to CUREC and boosting the international recognition and reputation of the Klump Center and Leeds.

The Internship and Placement Committee offers graduate real estate students assistance in finding summer internships and permanent placement opportunities. Ìý The Committee has a near-perfect record in placing its students. ÌýNot surprisingly, many MBA graduates express that the Center’s internship and placement program was a critical factor in deciding to apply to the CU Real Estate Program.

The Research Committee of the IAB was created to encourage and support real estate research activities undertaken at Leeds and to sponsor White Papers on behalf of the IAB and the Center.Ìý Such White Papers would likely fall outside the scope of the more traditional academic research process.Ìý The committee’s role is to identify critical areas of needed study for immediate practical application to the industry and to provide industry perspectives on academic papers as requested.Ìý The committee is also charged with aggregating resources which may be required for such undertakings.

The Real Estate Network actively engages students and alumni through a variety of events, activities, and programs.ÌýThe committee leverages the collective expertise and experience of recent alums to better position members as they navigate the first decade of their professional careers.Ìý By offering value-add experiences and building meaningful relationships the committee aims to foster greater post-graduation engagement with the Klump Center for Real Estate.

The committee has three sub-committees: Member Engagement, Sponsorship & Events, and Education & Philanthropy.ÌýThese sub-committees organize a recent-alum focused membership drive, run a post-graduation mentorship program, lead project tours and panel discussions on new development projects, host education sessions on relevant industry topics, offer fun networking events such as happy hours and ski days, and assist in creating geographical groups where there are high concentrations of alumni to do the same.Ìý The Committee also seeks to work with area high schools to educate students on the range of real estate careers that are available.
