Zell/Lurie Real Estate Center Career Mentor Program July 15, 2002 Dear Zell/Lurie Real Estate Center Member: For the twelfth 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 - especially in challenging times. I invite you to serve as a Mentor for the 2002-2003 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. 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 16th 2002, will begin with a breakfast where Mentors can meet their Mentees. 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. To participate in the mentor program, please submit the form on this page. To allow time to match and notify all mentors and students, please respond by August 30th. Our students do 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,
|
