Career Mentor Program

Dear Zell/Lurie Real Estate Center Member:

For the tenth consecutive year, the Zell/Lurie Real Estate Center will offer a Career Mentor program to our real estate students to assist them in the selection of an appropriate career path. We know that guidance from an experienced real estate professional is invaluable to young people anxious about career choices. I invite you to serve as a Mentor for the 2000-2001 academic year.

We attempt to match students with Mentors based on common professional interests. We ask that Mentors be available to their student, by phone or in person, at least twice a semester. Our students understand that such guidance as you may give certainly creates absolutely no obligation on your part to offer employment to your student.

Our Fall Members' Meeting, to be held on October 12th, 2000, will begin with a breakfast where Mentors can meet their assigned students. Experience shows that this is an excellent forum for Mentors to meet and talk with their assigned student. If you plan to attend the Meeting, but are not able to be present for the Mentors' Breakfast, we shall try to make arrangements for you to meet your student at some other time during the day. Once initial contact has been made, the details of your relationship are entirely up to you.

Please return the enclosed form to the Center via fax (215-573-4062), or by forwarded e-mail to Richard Frost, frostr@wharton.upenn.edu. To allow time to match and notify all mentors and students, please respond by September 1st. Our students recognize how busy you are. That you take time to participate in this program enhances the value of the Zell/Lurie Real Estate Center. I thank you for that, and for all else that you do for us.

Sincerely,

Joseph Gyourko
Director and Professor of Real Estate and Finance
