Revised B.Comm. Major Launched
The College of Management and Economics (CME) officially launched a revised real estate and housing major in the B.Comm. program Sept. 27 at a celebration at the Steam Whistle Brewery in Toronto.
The guest list included alumni who have majored in housing and real estate management since the program began in 1993, current fourth-year students and representatives of various industry associations, including Toronto Commercial Real Estate Women, which recently launched a scholarship for women and awarded $3,000 to Guelph student Krystal Moore.
CME dean Chris McKenna gave welcoming remarks at the launch, and Mike Poitras, a partner with Adamson Associates Architects, was keynote speaker.
The revised major incorporates more material related to commercial and investment real estate, but will continue to cover the housing sector, says Jane Londerville, lecturer and real estate and housing adviser in the Department of Marketing and Consumer Studies. The major admitted 60 students this fall, the largest cohort ever, she says.
