Events
CREC sponsors events that help to connect alumni with one another, with students, or both. CREC events:
- Are held off-campus, on-campus, and virtually.
- Sometimes feature more than one Colgate Professional Network around a common topic.
- Draw on themes suggested by volunteers, and campus leadership — as well as current events and trends.
- Often take campus priorities into consideration.
Student Life and Career Path Development Programs
CREC works closely with the on-campus, student-led Real Estate Club while also sponsoring access to the Urban Land Institute (ULI) Foundations of Real Estate Program (FoRE), five module, 30-hour education program and certification and LinkedIn “Rock Your Profile” workshops in partnership with Career Services.
Many other student-facing CREC programs are held during on-campus events or during student trips. Through these programs, students are able to meet with alumni in the real estate industry for hands-on learning opportunities. Some examples include:
- "All Roads Lead to Real Estate" – Annual September Kick-off event
- Homecoming networking events
- SophoMORE Connections
- NYC Student Immersion Trip and CREC Winter Social event
- Multiple career panel programs – over course of the year
- One-on-one introductions to industry professionals
Different committees exist to focus on various CREC activities and priorities, including:
- Career Advancement
- Communication
- Diversity, Equality, and Inclusion (DEI)
- Events
- Fundraising
- Student Engagement
