Each year, our Research Sponsors are invited each academic year to serve as Ballard Executive Visitors, meeting during an informal luncheon setting that provides a forum for students to meet these key industry executives. This provides a unique and valuable opportunity for students to meet with industry leaders. The speaker talk over an informal lunch provided by the Center, with the focus being the speaker’s choice. Many executives speak on their career path and offer insights on the industry.
After the talk, Ballard visitors often have one-on-one sessions with students—an invaluable chance for interaction with some of the most influential members of the real estate community. These “office hours” are an opportunity for one-on-one connections and are highly popular with students.
If you are a Center Research Sponsor and would like to participate in this program, please contact Veronica Aplenc.
