The Career Mentor Program is an excellent opportunity for Zell/Lurie Real Estate Center members and our real estate students to interact. In this program, every fall we pair real estate students with industry leaders who offer insights gained from their professional experience. Students face unique challenges and greatly benefit from the assistance of career mentors who counsel them on what it means and what it takes to be a real estate professional.
To become a Career Mentor or to find out more about our programs, please email Veronica Aplenc or call 215.898.3016.
