Exposing Diverse Students to Top Universities & Career Opportunities in Commercial Real Estate
July 10 – July 21, 2023
The REEX JumpStart Scholars in Commercial Real Estate is a 2-week residential program that will focus on developing a pipeline of high achieving, diverse students (current high school juniors) by providing exposure to the following:
REEX JumpStart will culminate with a capstone project competition in which top students will apply the skills they have learned to a real-world case study.
2023 University Partners include:
Harvard University, MIT, Howard University, NYU / Cornell University, Roosevelt University
To introduce students of color to the commercial real estate industry in a university setting, provide them with the knowledge, networks, and opportunities to build generational wealth, and introduce them to careers with high-earning potential in commercial real estate.
REEX JUMPSTART provides a road map for diverse students to achieve financial independence and generational wealth. In addition, scholars will be exposed to top-tier universities and faculty/admissions officers providing College-level instruction, mentorship, industry professionals, and internship opportunities.
We cannot guarantee placement at any specific university campus, but the admissions committee will consider the applicant’s preferences, in addition to several other factors that we have deemed important in maximizing the scholar’s overall experience
REEX JumpStart will require all participating students to be vaccinated and/or have taken the booster. Unfortunately, COVID is still with us. We need to take precautions to ensure that we can continue to have an opportunity to make the most of our 2023 Summer Session. We want to also take this opportunity to emphasize that our host institutions have strict protocols and guidelines for the health and safety of all students and faculty.
No prior knowledge of real estate is required to apply or participate.
If you are a current college student or preparing for your next summer internship, take this free virtual course, presented by REEX & CCIM!
Learn how to fully harness the power of Microsoft Excel for your financial calculations in real estate analysis. Using Excel as Your Financial Calculator takes you step-by-step in utilizing the program as a powerful financial tool, replacing a financial calculator or a financial calculator app. You’ll also learn the building blocks for any financial analysis and how to create customized analyses for any situation.
