MEET THE CLASS OF 2005!

The Class of 2005 arrived on campus August 23rd.  They are a group of 38
real estate professionals of which 14 are women, nine are from areas outside
of the United States, and nine are dual degree candidates.  There will be a
number of opportunities for you to meet and interact with the Class of 2005,
and I hope that you will seize these occasions.  I encourage students to
contact the alumni/ae as a source of information about companies, cities,
and jobs.  In addition, I often approach graduates about participating in
the Career and Professional events sponsored by the Center.  Currently, we
are seeking alumni/ae involvement in the following activities:

*	

	Informational Interviews -- Friday, November 19th -- Serve on a
panel or talk to a small group of students.  This is an opportunity to offer
insights about different aspects of the real estate industry.  In addition,
you will have a chance to meet other real estate professionals and do a
little networking yourself.  If you are interested in participating in the
Informational Interviews, please contact me as soon as possible.
*	

	Networking Nite -- Thursday, February 3, 2005 -- I invite interested
alumni/ae to return to Cambridge to informally meet and talk to the Class of
2005 during our networking reception.   This event is being planned in
collaboration with the AACRE and the ULI, and will be using "speed dating"
as the mechanism for helping the students to meet as many of the real estate
professionals in attendance as possible.  You could be one of those people!
If February is better for you than November, have a little fun, provide a
lot of information, and enjoy yourself on us!
*	

	Mock(?) Interviews -- Friday, April 22, 2005 -- The Mock(?)
Interviews give the students an opportunity to practice their interviewing
skills while adding to their personal network of industry contacts.  A job
may or may not be at stake.  As a result, while the student is honing their
interviewing skills, the companies have a risk-free opportunity to interact
with our students.    If you would like to be an interviewer, I encourage
you to contact me.

Our graduates are a vital part of our activities, and I hope that you will
use these opportunities to share your experience with the current class and
get to know them.  If you would like to participate in any of these events,
please contact me at   <mailto:marionoc at mit.edu> marionoc at mit.edu or
617-253-2680.

The AACRE/NEWIRE symposium provides a rare opportunity to learn about what
the future may hold for land values and the value of development rights in
downtown Boston from a unique group of academic and industry practitioners.
What will be the likely trend in the value of development rights? How do
investors actually value the license to build? Come learn how land markets
work and hear what our panel of experts thinks about the impact of the Big
Dig, Mass Turnpike air rights, and South Boston Waterfront development
parcels on the value of development rights in Boston. The speakers are
leaders in their fields and have the ability to translate their knowledge
and research into practical analysis and advice.
