Becoming involved in the GW Real Estate program as an undergrad was the best decision I could have made for career development and generating exposure. The access to industry professionals and the willingness of those to help introduce new topics and opportunities to students directly impacted my ability to learn and engage with the areas of the industry I found most interesting. My experience as an undergrad greatly influenced my decision to join the Young Leaders Organization at CRES.
