University of Colorado real estate students got an inside look into the commercial real estate industry as NAIOP Colorado launched a University Outreach Pilot Program in Boulder Nov. 12.
Thirty-eight University of Colorado graduate and undergraduate students sat down with veteran commercial real estate professionals and Developing Leaders in roundtable discussions focusing on ownership, development, brokerage, finance and entitlement/due diligence. The W.W. Reynolds Company sponsored the program at its Colorado Building, providing students with a glimpse of the company’s plans for a future mixed-use redevelopment of the downtown Boulder site.
The event kicked off expanded chapter efforts to reach out to real estate students throughout Colorado. Bridgette Waldron of NAIOP National selected the Colorado chapter to pilot a program because of its record of engaging young industry professionals. Results of a student survey will be used to refine the program and roll it out to other universities in Colorado and, perhaps, nationally in 2009.
Special thanks go the presenters for getting the program off to a successful start. They are: Rick Woodruff, Jason Newcomer, Charlie Davis, Jake Hawkins, Todd Wheeler, T.J. Johnson, Todd Grover, Eddie Watters, Greg Kelly and Chris Becze.
