Student Real Estate Experience Program

2017 SIOR Fall World Conference

This October, SIOR held its annual Fall World Conference in Chicago. The Student Real Estate Experience Program is designed to allow undergraduate and graduate students with a strong interest in real estate to attend, sponsored by SIOR. After an application process, UConn student Kelly Yates ’18 was selected to attend the conference. Says Kelly, “This was an excellent opportunity for me to meet and learn from a wide range of real estate professionals from across the country and the world.” She was able to attend a number of events and hear speakers from the industry discuss key topics and trends.

The UConn Center for Real Estate would like to thank SIOR Global and the Connecticut/Western Massachusetts SIOR Chapter for their continued support of its students.
