From the Director of the Center of Real Estate About the Center for Real Estate

Dear Partner,

In this unprecedented time in our history we at the California State University Fullerton’s Center for Real Estate stand committed to supporting our students in their preparation for a career in real estate. Our outreach has been inclusive of many of the organizations that are part of the foundation of our industry.

We continue our building of an intern program which assists students to find their beginning roles in entry positions throughout the industry. With a list of 7,000 firms and a broad reach into opportunities we have now placed several students into positions and have over 40 in our interview process. The Center works closely with the REA (Real Estate Association) a club that has grown its membership from 12 to 60 members. This cornerstone program moves our goal of assisting students along at an amazing pace.

Industry groups such as CCIM, IREM, BOMA, ICSC, PWR, NAIOP have joined with us with advice and support of our initiatives.

We are proud to include many successful leaders in our industry on our Board of Advisors. Industry groups such as CCIM, IREM, BOMA, ICSC, PWR and NAIOP have joined us with advice and support of our initiatives. The curriculum at CSUF is being expanded with a goal of creating a minor in Real Estate under a finance major. This approach is being recognized by the California DRE and will allow students to sit for a brokers license and possibly bypass the two year experience hurdle.

Programs like Argus training, attendance at special events such as ICSC RECON in Las Vegas (on hold currently), the annual Real Estate Forum, and events held by the above industry organizations will give students a unique “hands-on” view of the industry.

This momentum is still moving forward with a strong belief in our industry, our University, and our students.

Sincerely,

Bob Osbrink

Director, Center for Real Estate Cal State University, Fullerton
