Industry Partners
Industry Partners benefit from a mutually supportive relationship with Cornell’s Program in Real Estate. In addition to providing substantial financial support, Industry Partners develop close relationships with program faculty, staff and students. They play a critical role in advancing the knowledge and careers of our students. Moreover, Industry Partners gain additional perspective and knowledge that this relationship brings to their business.
Becoming an Industry Partner offers numerous benefits, including:
- a strong linkage with Cornell University, one of the most respected educational institutions in the world
- website placement of your company logo, business profile and a hyperlink to your firm’s website on the Program in Real Estate website, which receives over 2,000 hits per month
- featuring your business and the relationship with Cornell in a variety of promotional and recruitment materials distributed by the Program in Real Estate
- priority access to students; priority positioning at employer showcase and recruitment events
- opportunities to participate in the Program’s Industry Seminars, speaking engagements at symposia and classes and the mentor program and co-author with students articles for the Cornell Real Estate Review
- priority positioning on Commercial Real Estate Job Board maintained by the Program, the largest and most active compilation exclusively for real estate jobs and the opportunity to be featured in the annual Select Leaders / Cornell Job Barometer report
- complimentary admission and subscriptions, including two admissions to the annual Cornell Real Estate Conference and subscriptions to the Cornell Real Estate Review and PREview, the quarterly Program in Real Estate newsletter
In addition, Industry Partners often provide internships for Program students. The firms who hire interns find that students bring fresh perspective and insight to their real estate endeavors. Several Industry Partners have hired former interns to become full-time members of their staff.
The annual financial contribution from Industry Partners ranges upward from $10,000. This ongoing funding helps ensure that the Cornell Program in Real Estate remains the leader in providing a comprehensive graduate education in real estate.
