In my role as partner in a large real estate venture investment fund, I have been fortunate to hire and work with five Cornell PRE students over the past several years. Each of the professionals we’ve brought on board from Cornell has been very well prepared to make an immediate and valuable contribution both to our business enterprise and to the team-oriented, multi-disciplinary approach required for success in our industry. This fact is a testimonial to the strong capabilities of Cornell’s graduates. Unlike typical MBAs, Cornell’s PRE graduates demonstrate an unmistakable passion and purpose in their pursuits within the industry. Real estate firms interested in hiring the very best young talent available should visit Cornell and meet with its PRE grads.
