“We are excited to have the research and writing experience as well as diversity of perspective that Connor, Hugo and Nishant bring as new Assistant Editors to the Cornell Real Estate Journal,” said David Funk, Director of the Program in Real Estate, adding “The Assistant Editor position has considerable responsibility but also provides terrific experience for our first year students. The editors play a key role in producing news articles for the Program as well as reviewing CREJ article submissions and enhancing the outreach of the CREJ to the real estate industry.”
