Real Estate and Economic Development Advisory Board
The Real Estate program is committed to integrating academic work with industry practices and expectations of new employees. The REED Advisory Board is composed of industry professionals who give class talks, provide internships, and mentor students. They are also indispensable in creating networking opportunities and industry visibility for the program and students. Some Advisory Board members also teach specialized courses in the program. These professionals are committed to growing the next generation of Real Estate leaders in Baltimore, and believe UBalt is the right place to start.
