This semester, FIU\u2019s Hollo School of Real Estate<\/a> continued its legacy of bringing students together with South Florida\u2019s accomplished real estate leaders to network and explore career options.<\/p>\n

One of these events occurred February 7, 2016, when 11 real estate industry leaders traveled to FIU\u2019s Modesto Maidique Campus to share their experiences and give advice about working in real estate. Nearly 70 undergraduate and graduate real estate students and alumni, equally split between men and women, came to FIU\u2019s Frost Art Museum for the annual event, which is co-sponsored by FIU and Commercial Real Estate Women (CREW).<\/p>\n

Suzanne Hollander, a real estate attorney and broker who teaches at the Hollo School, led the event, as she has for the past 7 years. Hollo School Director William Hardin and Adjunct Professors Eileen Cardelle and Paul Black also participated in the event.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe real estate industry, our students and alumni are proud to participate, share and celebrate the FIU Hollo School\u2019s success,\u201d said Hollander. She shared recent achievements, including the faculty\u2019s #1 ranking in U.S. real estate research in the Real Estate Academic Leadership rankings. The Master of Science in International Real Estate<\/a> is also among the College of Business\u2019 online Masters programs recently ranked #16 in the nation by U.S. News & World Report<\/em> in its recent survey of online Masters degree programs.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese successes incentivize industry leaders to come to campus, see what all the excitement is about, meet with our students and hire them,\u201d said, Hollander, who also serves as co-chair of the UCREW Committee for CREW.<\/p>\n

Hardin thanked attendees for their participation.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis co-operation between CREW, leaders in South Florida\u2019s real estate world, and our university, which leads in higher education, is a great way to ensure that our students develop important connections and cutting-edge insights,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

While the purpose was serious, the event was fun, and included speed networking, with each 12-minute round marked by Hollander ringing a bell like the one that opens Wall Street\u2019s trading day.<\/p>\n

At the end of the event, Hollander shared a favorite proverb: \u201cIf you light a lamp for someone it will also brighten your own path. Tonight, CREW Members lit the real estate career path for our students.\u201d<\/p>\n
