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
ZELL/LURIE REAL ESTATE CENTER
