Cushman & Wakefield | Thalhimer to Host Virginia Tech Program in Real Estate Students

3/15/19

On March 18th, Cushman & Wakefield | Thalhimer will host 23 Virginia Tech Real Estate Students, as well as several faculty, on a Richmond commercial and mixed-use real estate tour, which will include a market overview, and interaction with industry professionals specializing in development, brokerage, research, property management, project management, and capital markets. In addition, the students will tour some of Richmond’s leading projects, including the redevelopments of Regency mall and City View Lofts, an urban multifamily development in Manchester.

The program has grown to over 300 majors and is ranked 5th most popular program in the U.S. by College Factual. The B.S. degree in Real Estate at Virginia Tech is a comprehensive, interdisciplinary academic program that builds on existing strengths in five colleges. The major offers Real Estate courses that integrate the material students learn in disciplinary courses such as finance, law, and property management through practical experiences within the academic program. The integration occurs through a university-industry partnership where real estate professionals are actively involved in students’ education through guest lectures and mentoring experiences and by providing internship opportunities. https://vt.edu/academics/majors/real-estate.html

Kevin Boyle, Director of the Program in Real Estate, states “Cushman & Wakefield | Thalhimer has been a strong supporter of the program and our students from the first day; providing on-the-ground practical learning as a key component of the academic program. We are extremely grateful for their personal and financial support.”

“I know when I was a student; the opportunity to meet industry professionals was extremely impactful as I considered my future career choices. It is a privilege to give back to the highly talented students involved with Virginia Tech’s real estate program and hopefully impact them in the same way,” noted Curtis Mummau, Senior Vice President at Cushman & Wakefield | Thalhimer .

Later in the week on March 21st, the university will host Virginia Tech Property Management Career Fair, of which Cushman & Wakefield | Thalhimer will participate, where students are introduced to industry professionals seeking full-time employees and interns. Coincidentally, Virginia Tech celebrates their annual “Giving Day” the same week on March 19th-20th, engaging with students by sharing knowledge and experience.
