The time a person spent with the Lang School Real Estate community does not end at graduation. With nearly 30 years of developing leaders, the Real Estate major at the Lang School is fortunate to have a large and engaged alumni network. The alumni association hosts multiple events throughout the year for students and alumni to connect and network. Aside from events, alumni also give back to the current students in many ways: as guest speakers in class, sharing what they have learned since graduation; financially, through donations; by acting as one-on-one mentors; and by sharing news with other alumni about industry opportunities.
